3 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MAGAZINE Volume 118, No. 9 November 1984 Veterans Day is a special day for every American. From the Revolutionary war to the Vietnam war, there has not been a generation of Americans untouched by war. Veterans Day is when we, as a nation, honor and remember the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us and keep us free. The cover photo is of the west wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This dramatically designed Memorial is located in Constitution Gardens near the Lincoln Memorial in the shadows of both the Washington Monument and the U. S. Capitol. Dedicated on November 13, 1982 it is constructed of polished black granite and inscribed with the names of every man and woman who died in, or remains missing from, the Vietnam war. The names are listed in chronological order and arranged so that America's first Vietnam losses, in 1959, are located on the east wall of the Memorial and America's last losses, in 1975, are located on the adjacent west wall. In addition to a seemingly endless list of names there is a message which reads in part, "OUR NA- TION HONORS THE COURAGE, SACRIFICE AND DEVOTION TO DUTY AND COUNTRY OF ITS VIETNAM VETERANS."

5 President General's lessage DEAR DAUGHTERS: Within the next few days our chapters will be commemorating Veterans Day. It is an appropriate time to hear of the President General's recent visit to Pearl Harbor as she returned from establishing the new Chapter in Sydney, Australia. In this historic Harbor, where so many homes across this land suffered the loss of loved ones, each of the 19 ships which was sunk or disabled by the Japanese on December 7, 1941, is marked by a white float bearing its name. All but three of the ships were raised, restored to fighting condition and continued to serve our Nation. Three remain on the floor of the Harbor the Utah, the Oklahoma and the Arizona. A permanent memorial has been built across the bow of the Arizona whichis encased with coral and plainly visible beneath the blue waters of the Pacific. The Flag of the United States of America flies daily from the flagpole which is attached to the severed main mast of the sunken battleship. Entombed within this mighty vessel are more than 1100 Americans who lost their lives on that day which "lives in infamy" Even today, 43 years later, oil continues to bubble from its depths as though its heart bleeds and the young voices within their watery graves continue to murmur "Duty, Honor, Country" We visited the Punchbowl where thousands of American servicemen are buried on the hill overlooking the Harbor. Towering above the Punchbowl is the tremendous statue of a woman whose right hand is extended to show that it holds no weapon and who carries in her left hand the olive branch of peace. It was especially meaningful to pause for a few minutes beside the grave of Ernie Pyle, famed war correspondent killed in the battle of Okinawa, who wrote these words, "There are no atheists in foxholes." As we gather with members of our beloved families around our Thanksgiving tables, let us remember to be grateful for the long gray line of Americans who cared enough to give their very best from Lexington to Grenada and more recently in Beirut and to be grateful for those who continue to serve our Nation whether in war or in peace. As we raise our voices in prayers of thanksgiving for our blessings of liberty and for our homes and families, let us express gratitude for the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of fighting men and women who have secured and help to hold the peace which we enjoy. Ours is, indeed, "a goodly heritage" and as God-fearing Americans, let us give thanks. Faithfully, MRS. WALTER HUGHEY KING PRESIDENT GENERAL, NSDAR

7 hanksgiving, the truly American Holiday, is the perfect time to reflect upon nature's bountiful harvest. Among this harvest are many plants and flowers which spring from heirloom seeds brought to the country more than four hundred years ago. The very early colonists from England and France brought with them seeds and plants that had become a part of their culture. Anything that survived in the new land was divided among friends and neighbors to provide a more abundant harvest for everyone. As more immigrants came the Quakers, the Catholics, the Hugenots, the various religious sects of Germany their dreams and their seeds came with them. All of these groups were devoted horticulturists who found an opportunity to own as well as plant the land as they pleased. These "green immigrants" found their spot in the fertile soil of the new world. Many have survived urbanization: in old gardens, in old cemeteries, in the woods, along highways, no place has truly escaped the heirloom seeds., Throughout history flowers have spoken the innermost feelings of mankind and herbs and plants have offered food and healing. Victor Hugo once wrote, "Nature, like a kind and smiling mother, lends herself to our dreams and cherishes our fancy" Everyone who has determined to make something grow understands this feeling. Perhaps this is why the study and preservation of ' the earth's plant life generates such Interest. Many gardeners concerned about preservation, quality and variety have begun a systematic search to find and save examples of plant life from America's past. During the past twenty years, a vigorous seed movement has taken on new momentum in the United States. Once an "heirloom" variety is located, gardeners seek to preserve it, nurture it, exchange it and see that it is replenished ' from year to year. Their rewards are a resurgence of that 1 old time feeling and flavor which represents America's celebration of Thanksgiving. Another motivation for heirloom gardeners, aside from the preservation of the seeds of colonial days, is the personal satisfaction of learning about the past. Gardens can become a living plot of history as gardeners try to recapture a more personal nostalgia. Each heirloom variety of seed or plant is recorded as to origin, growth 1. habits, shape, color, fragrance, etc. Each plant is painstakingly pampered to give each its own identity so that future generations will still be able to enjoy it. Many NOVEMBER

8 original plants have lost their irreplaceable genetic characteristics as farmers and gardeners switched to new varieties to promote higher yield and sturdier stock. Our fear about the loss of breeding material is entirely justified. During the past one hundred years plant breeders have traveled around the world to locate plant material that was productive, nutritious, hardy and remarkable in some way. Usually these breeders began with obscure varieties and crossed them with outstanding relatives, combining the best traits from each. The best breeding material came from seeds stored by isolated gardeners such as those located in Colonial Williamsburg. Meanwhile, most of the states have begun the long process of surveying the plants that grow within their borders to see how the various species are faring. Measures are being enacted to protect plants which are rare in certain localities, even if the species to which they belong are not endangered on a broad scale. In New York State, for instance, the twinflower is protected in the Catskill Mountain region, where it is scarce, but not in the Adirondack Mountains to the north, where the pink wildflower is not imperiled. Collectors of seeds help by gathering just the seeds of wild plants instead of taking or removing the plants themselves from their habitat. Most plants produce many more seeds than eventually sprout. By taking some of the seeds from rare plants and growing them, plant dealers and fanciers could have plenty of specimens for their own use, while insuring that the wild population survive. Time in its passing has but little effect on many seeds; they may remain alive and capable of germination for hundreds or, possibly, thousands of years. The seeds of some desert plants have built-in rain gauges and will germinate after certain amounts of rain have fallen. Other seeds have built-in time clocks or calendars that determine when they will come to life and start the production of new plants. A number of plants are so sensitive to light that their germination is influenced by the moonlight. In some seeds a one second exposure to bright light will stimulate their germination and they can also "remember" their exposure to light and germinate at a later time. Take an imaginary journey back through time as you garden and save seeds of those plants that you like best, particularly those from your grandparents garden. A popular way to preserve the genetic past is through local historical associations which sponsor heirloom gardens. It is only right for institutions that preserve antique tools and furnishings to preserve heirloom seeds as well. There are several distributors who locate plants that are old and unusual, especially the hardy or exceptionally tasty The story of our country's early gardens comes alive through exploring our roadsides, woods, meadows and streams. Heirloom seeds are still there. What a joy to have the opportunity of understanding and appreciating the founding of our country through gardens and plants. A reverence for the earth through our gardens teaches us that we are the servants and not the masters; this is an extremely good feeling. It is especially good in this scientific age when man is inclined to forget the power of nature. It is good to realize that little heirloom seeds are stronger than we are. Give thanks for our heirloom seeds especially while assembled for this Thanksgiving feast. How sweet to be encompassed with the spirit of gratitude along with the royal colors, the pungent aromas, and the true flavors of heirloom seeds. BIBLIOGRAPHY Houghton, Claire Shaver.

9 FAMILY RESEARCH GENETICS PROJECT It has long been the opinion of your President General that the knowledge of family records inherent in membership in NSDAR can be a great help to medical research through a genetic study. In seeking the office she now holds, this was presented as a goal of the administration if elected. Subsequently, visits were made to the Genetic Research Department of Vanderbilt University where they were received with enthusiasm and support. Within the month, pamphlets, medical-genealogical charts and information on contacting Vanderbilt University Department of Endrocrinology will be received by each of our 212,000 members. It will be the responsibility of each to respond if she wishes to participate in this program. Modern methods are being used to recognize, treat and, in many instances, cure congenital problems which have plagued mankind. Early diagnosis of glaucoma, diabetes, growth hormone deficiency, Huntington disease, cancer, circulatory disorder, dyslexia and Alzheimer's, to name only a few, makes it possible to treat and, in many cases, prevent problems for future generations. We foresee this program as a boon, not only for our own families, but to mankind as a whole. We are fortunate in that we know whence we came. Our research will serve as an inspiration to others. We ask your cooperation in completing forms and in contacting the geneticists at Vanderbilt University. If physical or emotional problems are tracked through your research, you will be told of the next step by Rhonda Stanley who will receive your charts. We hope you share our enthusiasm and our high hopes for a major contribution to medical research. We are the products of those who have gone before and we hope to put our genealogy to work for the protection of future generations.

10 National e ense Phyllis Schlafly, National Chairman The Hidden Agenda Behind "Comparable Worth" The concept of Comparable Worth is an assault on a pillar of the freemarket economy. If triumphant, its end result could only be governmental control of the wage-setting process, administered either by "equal opportunity" bureaucrats or Federal judges. Pushed by feminist groups indeed frequently labeled the feminist issue of the 80s Comparable Worth rests on the premise that deep-seated discrimination confines, or "crowds," women into certain low-paying jobs. As a result, advocates say, market wages are basically "sexist," a favorite statistic being that the average working woman receives only 60 percent of the wage paid to the average working man. To overcome such "institutionalized sexism," they add, pay scales need to be readjusted to reflect true "job value" so that positions held primarily by women pay as much as "comparable" jobs held by men. School teachers, for example, might be as highly valued for their instruction of children as corporate managers are for their efforts at facilitating production; nurses ought to be compensated for their physical and emotional treatment of patients to the same degree that doctors are for their technical manipulations; and so on. Champions of the Comparable Worth doctrine received an enormous boost in late 1983 when U.S. District Court Judge Jack E. Tanner ruled that the State of Washington was guilty of "pervasive wage discrimination" against women. He ordered the state to award back pay and higher wages to over 15,000 of its employees, at a potential cost to taxpayers of $1 billion. Buoyed by this success, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, AFL- CIO, is pursuing similar litigation in other states. Reacting to this flood of activity, opponents of the Comparable Worth doctrine have raised a host of counterarguments, largely economic in nature. They contend that the free market is in fact working well, and that the pay differential between men and women can be readily explained by legitimate market factors, including the lower average education and skill levels of women, the higher turnover rate of female employees as they leave jobs to have babies or follow their husbands to a different location, the recent oversupply of workers in occupations such as BY ALLAN C. CARLSON elementary teaching, the preference of women for indoor work, and the proven tendency of married men to work harder and longer hours to support their families. Opponents of Comparable Worth also argue that no real evidence exists to support the doctrine and that Comparable Worth rests on the precapitalist, almost medieval belief that jobs have an intrinsic value that can be measured independent of supply and demand. Significantly, though, these opponents have all but ignored the underlying cultural and ideological contexts of the Comparable Worth campaign. Such an omission is understandable, for this broader view raises uncomfortable questions which the American political process is ill-prepared to handle. Nonetheless, unless the "hidden agenda" behind the Comparable Worth doctrine is exposed and confronted, the American social order will fundamentally change. The Ideological Battle Line From the broader perspective, the Comparable Worth debate is merely one battle line in a war of ideas over how to organize family life and sex roles in contemporary society. As Swedish feminist Alva Myrdal noted back in 1966, such controversy "is largely ideological in character," representing a conflict between the "bourgeois" or middle-class family model and the individualistic, or atomistic, model advanced by Marxists, radicals, and social libertarian thinkers alike. While the middle-class model has its roots in the 17th and 18th centuries, it emerged as a numerically significant phenomemon only in the 19th century, as the wealth-creating miracles of modern capitalism lifted a growing proportion of the population out of crushing poverty. Women were able to leave fields and primitive factories to give greater attention to the upbringing of children: "the working family" (in which both spouses were employed outside the home) became instead the "child-centered family," one focused on the protection, health, and education of young people. Childcare practices among the bourgeoisie improved notably, and infant mortality rates declined. During the early 20th century, non-marxist labor leaders in the West also began demanding payment of a "family wage" to workers, calling for an income sufficient for a male laborer to support his wife and children in modest comfort. Western nations responded in different ways. In France, for example, industrialists took the lead in creating a voluntary family allowance system later nationalized which paid an increasingly higher wage according to the number of dependent children in the family. In the United States, another, less precise, and nonstatist type of "family wage" emerged through both cultural pressures and political action. Among the cultural forces, it is undeniable that deeply ingrained assumptions concerning sex roles in the family stratified the American labor market. With but modest exceptions, the highest paying job categories were reserved by convention for men, as "heads of households." Moreover, the real pay differentials that existed between men and women were justified on the rationale that most men "had a wife and children to support." Put another way, the market internalized cultural assumptions about the importance to society of maternal care of children, and directed resources toward families so engaged. On the policy side, the Social Security system created in the 1930s presumed this middle-class family as the norm, and provided wives' and widow's pensions as specialized family allowances. The 1948 restructuring of the Federal income tax system created the joint return, which favored married couples living on one income, and set the personal deduction at $600, acts that removed the vast majority of American families from any significant tax liability. As late as 1965, such attitudes still prevailed in most Western countries. An International labor Organization report issued that year found many governments reluctant to encourage further female participation in the wage market. West Germany, for example, felt that female employment should be encouraged only "in so far as the family responsibilities may permit." The United States affirmed "the basic legal principle which places on the husband the primary responsibility for support of his wife and family with secondary liability devolving on the wife." Opposed to this vision is the atomistic model, resting on full equality in sex roles and predicated on a devaluation even elimination of the family as an intermediate social structure. The origins of this ideology lay in the radical-liberal and Marxist writings of the late 18th and 19th centuries. In this vision, men and women have no separate 616 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

11 roles; rather, they can claim but one shared role: being human. Parenting is viewed as a joint responsibility to be shared equally by men and women. Advocates of this model condemn the sex roles of the bourgeois family, characterizing the full-time "wifemother" as a "legal prostitute." Such a wife-mother lives "the humiliating existence of a parasite," they argue; she is "a spiritual cripple." The demand for equality between the sexes means that both men and women should be expected to labor outside the home throughout their working lives, while those advantages previously enjoyed by women legal protection, the right to be supported through marriage, custody of the children in cases of divorce, widow's pensions should also be eliminated. In sum, in place of the child-centered family resting on differentiated sex roles, advocates of the atomistic vision call for the return of "the working family," one surprisingly similar to that found in the pre-industrial era. The Swedish Experience In our century, this latter ideological vision has won its most complete victory in Sweden. It is not a coincidence, I suggest, that Comparable Worth advocates also look to that land as the model for American emulation, as the one place where the Comparable Worth doctrine has been successfully implemented. The Swedish case, consequently, bears examination. The campaign to eliminate sex roles in Sweden first took on public significance in 1935, with creation of a Parliamentary Committee on Women's Work. In a twist of irony, it was actually set up at the insistence of conservative parliamentarians dedicated to the "family wage" concept and concerned about the inequities of what they called the "double wage" earned by families with working wives. Yet dominated by socialists and left-liberals, the committee quickly turned the ideological table. Its 1938 report emphasized the inevitability and necessity of women's labor outside the home, and the "right" of women to be paid-laborers despite marriage and motherhood. The Committee urged, among other proposals, expansion in the number of day-care centers, the preferential hiring of women to remove the effects of past discrimination, and an unspecified "new" wage system that insured that women were paid as much as men. Interestingly, though, such ideas lay mostly dormant in Sweden for another 25 years. Official rhetoric notwithstanding, the Swedish nation shared in the resurgence of "bourgeois domesticity" that characterized virtually all Western lands in the period. As late as 1965, for example, only one-quarter of Swedish women with children under age 7 were employed, and even a majority of those working did so only part-time. Day-care centers were few, serving less than 12,000 children. Maternal care remained the norm. All that changed during the 1960s. Open, public debate on "sex roles" began early in that decade and became a national passion by According to one analyst of the controversy, the conservative position was weakly represented: first, by a "traditional" ideology "anchored in the Judaic/Christian religion and in talismanic concepts" of man as woman's lord and master; and second, a "romantic" or middle-class ideology, which saw men and women as essentially different, yet equal and complementary with the latter principally occupied with the virtues of marriage and motherhood. Significantly, the writer noted that the conservative viewpoint was "seldom championed at the 'expert' level of debate," finding expression only "in the letters to the editors of weekly magazines and in the views expressed by employees, supervisory personnel and employers" i.e., among the grass roots and in Sweden's private economic sector. The Swedish "experts," instead, were arrayed on the side of the "moderate" and "liberal-radical" ideologies. The former position aimed at giving every woman the "right" to choose freely between children and career, "to remove as far as possible the conflict between these two roles." The "liberal-radical" position embodied the atomistic vision outright, denying that women could balance their "two roles" without total social reconstruction necessitating the leveling of sex roles. Predictably, as the debate progressed, the conservative positive undefended by "experts" virtually disappeared, while the "moderates" gradually gave way to the "liberal-radical" perspective. In truth, the moderate position proved to be built on sand, and it was simply swept aside by both the compelling logic of the "liberal-radical" view and the passion for equality. In consequence, Swedish middle-class culture began to dissolve under persistent ideological attack. In the mid-1960s, for example, school officials adopted "an emphatic policy of not only refusing to perpetuate but actively counteracting the traditional view of sex roles." Sweden's 1968 report to the United Nations on "The Status of Women" declared that "A decisive and ultimately durable improvement in the status of women cannot be attained by special measures aimed at women alone; it is equally necessary to abolish the conditions which tend to assign certain privileges, obligations or rights to men." In order to ensure that "every individual" has "the same responsibility for his or her own maintenance," it continued, "a radical change in deep-rooted traditions and attitudes must be brought about among both men and women, and active steps must be taken by the community to encourage a change in the roles played by both." Early on, Swedish advocates of the atomized social order recognized that their ideological vision also necessitated a move toward Comparable Worth. In 1956, Alva Myrdal argued that "A new wage system is required, based on the character of the job to be done...." A decade later, two other Swedish writers maintained that wage differentials between "male and female occupational areas" had been established "without regard to the relative requirements of skills, responsibility, etc. of the different areas," and that removing this differential required changes in pay policies "to raise the wage levels in traditional female job zones." Building the New Order As recast over the course of the 1970's, the Swedish goal became creation of "the working family," a social system wherein every adult would work regardless of marital or parental status. In an article for the Swedish Information Service, editor Monica Boethius has defined this family type as one in which "two grown-ups (or one, in a one-parent family) spend most of their working day outside the home" while "the children have to be cared for by somebody else." It is a social system in which both men and women view their careers as their long-term life commitments, "while caring for a growing family is for both sexes primarily an interlude." It is a vision, moreover, that has vast public policy consequences. As Swedish Undersecretary for Labor Bent Rollen recently put it, the Swedish government now aims at eliminating the bourgeois ideal, "where a man was to go out and earn the money his family needed." Instead, "We [now] want to make it possible for everybody to find a paid job and to achieve economic independence.... Our aim is to apply this attitude to the whole of society, to working life but also [sic] to politics and family life... [We] realize that this will call for changes in the way in which society, workplaces and the home are organized." And, indeed, much of the 1970s was given over to this radical reconstruction task. With the homemaker declared to be "a dying race," legal changes removed the special protections afforded women in marriage. Changes in Swedish tax law essentially eliminated the joint return for a married couple, and have left all persons paying the same tax, whether alone, married but childless, or married with children. Moreover, marginal Swedish income taxes were increased in the period (such rates now approach 100 percent at even a modest income level), making extra personal effort to support a family on one income virtually impossible. Swedish welfare policy was also altered to discourage maternal care of preschool children. Housing and tax benefits are effectively curtailed if families decide to care for their children and refuse to place them in day-care centers. Choosing not to use heavily subsidized government day-care, moreover, represents an implicit rejection of benefits such as free children's meals and diapers. Even economic changes over the last two decades have conspired against parent-raised children, making the single-income family impossible. In 1984, for example, the Swedish "poverty line" for a family of four is 131,000 Kronor; but the average annual wage for a Swedish laborer ranges between 75,000 and 94,000 Kronor, truly making "two incomes" mandatory. In effect, the market has compensated for the massive entry of women into the lifetime labor force by eliminating the NOVEMBER

12 "family wage" through the attrition of inflation. Finally, a combination of state pressures and labor union demands have effectively implemented the Comparable Worth principle. In the Swedish manufacturing sector, for example, women now earn over 90 percent of the male wage, proving to American advocates that "it can be done." Admirers of the Swedish system point to its "parent insurance" program which guarantees one or the other parent six months of paid leave from work following childbirth and another six months paid leave to be used during the pre-school years. They also cite its modest child allowance program, which pays about $370 per child annually to parents. In truth, these provisions do little to blunt the effects of a coercive social order dedicated to the destruction of the middle class. The reality of cultural war against the capitalistic laggards is clearly admitted in official Swedish publications, which regularly cite "private enterprise" and "private firms and companies" as the major bastions of continuing sex discrimination, albeit ones already slated for radical change. The fact that most men in the private sector do not use their parental insurance, one writer notes, means that the law should be changed to "force them to shoulder their responsibilities." The fact that schoolgirls still tend to choose occupations in traditionally "female" fields, another says, means only that school officers must redouble their efforts "to challenge conventional stereotypes." The results of this unrelenting social, political, and economic pressure are beginning to show. Between 1965 and 1980, the proportion of women with pre-school children who work rose from 27 to 64 percent. Four years later, according to one report, the full-time mother could "no longer be found among young women"; indeed, "the highest employment participation rate is to be found among mothers of infant children," meaning that virtually all of them work. Only 60,000 Swedish children were enrolled in all kinds of government child-care facilities in 1960; by 1980, 413,000 were, and the number continues to skyrocket. But the negative consequences of this "sex role" revolution are also pouring in. The Swedish marriage rate began falling in 1966, and is now at the lowest level in recorded world history. Similarly, Sweden's birth rate has tumbled to new lows, and today stands at less than 60 percent of the level needed to achieve even zero population growth. Having drained marriage and childbearing of any moral and social significance, Sweden faces an increasingly sterile future. With the uprearing and character education of children largely socialized, creating a family and bearing babies make little sense in that land today. Indeed, most Swedes have even forgotten how to ask moral questions. As Monica Boethius cheerfully notes, the growing refusal of young couples to have children has resulted in "no, or at least very little, speculation that the reason is because women work outside their homes to such a large extent. Nor are there any allusions [sic] that lack responsibility or that they are too materialistic. These arguments would have been very common in many quarters a decade ago. The content of opinions expressed now have dealt... with such questions as why young people feel they want to live without children or perhaps with only one child." If her reporting is correct, Ms. Boethius has unwittingly authored her requiem for a doomed society. The "Sex Role" Debate In the United States, we are far along the same path toward the "working family" social order. Yet in contrast to Sweden, where the debate over "sex roles" was at least open, honest, and conclusive, our moral and legal "revolution" has often been fought in closed rooms and dark corridors, hidden from public view. Symbolic of this, the Comparable Worth doctrine derives whatever Federal legal status it has primarily from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of sex. Yet this critical provision, which is serving as the crucial wedge for the wholesale, government-enforced transformation of sex roles in America, was adopted by Congress without hearings, after less than half a day of confused debate. Moreover, implementation of Title VII has proceeded primarily through regulatory action, divorced from public debate. Between 1968 and 1971, one writer sympathetic to feminism notes, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission "converted Title VII into a magna carta for female workers, grafting to it a set of rules and regulations that certainly could not have passed Congress in 1964, and perhaps not a decade later, either." Even the Equal Pay Act of 1963 the measure assuring "equal pay for equal work" which no one challenges today was implicitly premised on an unresolved contradiction, one fully revealed in the report of President John Kennedy's Commission on the Status of Women released the same year. On the one hand, the report "pre-supposed that the nuclear family unit was vital to the stability of American society and that women have a unique and immutable role in the family unit...." On the other hand, the report urged that "every obstacle" to women's "full participation in society must be removed." As feminists have correctly argued, this deep tension and implicit contradiction between women's "two roles" could be removed only when men and society at large were fundamentally changed and took on vastly augmented responsibility for childrearing and homemaking. Indeed, by fits and starts, America has moved toward such a "working family" order, predicated on the atomistic view of society. As social policy experts acknowledge and the Swedish experience confirms, public policy can favor either the "middleclass" family model or the "working family" model; it cannot be "moderate," favorable to both, or neutral. From the early 1960's on, the trend in the United States has clearly been toward the "working family." Since 1960, changes in Federal tax law and the seldom-visible effects of inflation have raised the average tax rate of a married couple with four children by over 200 percent; in contrast, working couples without children have seen no change in their average rate. Congress has granted a generous tax credit to working couples who place their children in day-care centers; parents who forego extra income to care for their own children enjoy no comparable tax benefit. Some tax reformers even talk of taxing households for the unpaid services of a full-time mother. Legal changes, from "no fault" divorce laws to "joint custody" of the children of divorce, are removing most of the protections and privileges once enjoyed by women in marriage. Feminist leadership has taken aim at Social Security programs premised on the "middle-class" family model, encouraged the elimination of the joint income tax return, and renewed the push for Federally funded day-care. Moreover, the rising costs of housing and high mortgage interest rates, both driven by inflation, have meant that "two incomes" are increasingly necessary for securing home ownership and other facets of the faltering 'American Dream." As in Sweden, then, the direction is not toward "choice," but rather toward a new kind of "coercion"; toward a society where maternal care of small children is legally difficult and financially impossible; toward the post-bourgeois, "working family" order. Recasting the Debate In blindly accepting the terminology of "sexism," "discrimination," and "equality" as a given, opponents of the Comparable Worth doctrine have already conceded most of the battlefield. It is possible that they may be able to stem the flood tide of Comparable Worth initiatives by stressing thoroughly logical, statistically solid, and economically sound free-market arguments. Yet I think it unlikely. For logic and freedom are but frail reeds against the passion for equality, particularly when the religious and family norms that undergird a free society have been weakened and are ignored. Comparable Worth opponents are facing a social conflagration, but they insist on trying to put out an economic brushfire. Rather, they should be raising broader issues and asking other kinds of questions, such as: What type of people do we want our children to be? How do we view the roles of the sexes? What kind of families do we want to have? How do we want to raise our children? It is the answers to these questions that should determine our national policy on Comparable Worth and other family-sensitive issues. In our land's often-hidden debate on "sex roles," American conservatives have so far resembled their Swedish counterparts: "non- (Continued on page 699) 618 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

13 WAR WORK SERVICE PIN MARY MCBRIDE DANIEL General Josiah Tattnall Chapter, Georgia hen Mrs. David C. Crockett, Baron DeKalb Chapter, Georgia, saw "DAR" on a pin at an antique dealer's booth, she knew that such an item should not be on sale for the general public. She immediately bought the pin, and thus began the search to find the history of the unusual and seldom seen DAR War Work Service Pin. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution has always been noted for its service to God, Home and Country. World War II was probably one of the most concentrated efforts of service the Daughters ever undertook. Not only did the Daughters share their buildings in Washington, D. C. with the Red Cross, but the members were encouraged to donate hours of service for such efforts as the activities of the Red Cross, the work of the Civil Defense, the sale of War Bonds and stamps, service on Rationing and Draft Boards, and home projects such as mending and sewing, making cookies, packaging bandages and similar work. The chapters of Greater New York sponsored four Landing Craft Infantry ship's crews in This undertaking proved so successful that a representative of the Amphibious Forces requested that each State Society sponsor one ship. The Daughters met and exceeded this request. By the end of the war, the crews of eighty-eight Landing Craft Infantry ships, two Landing Ship Tank crafts, two Landing Ship Medium crafts, and one Liberty Ship were sponsored by the State Societies, and received devoted attention from Daughters in every state. Members of the National Society, especially those in New York, were anxious that members who gave so generously of themselves would have a special recognition. At the May 2, 1942 Meeting of the National Board of Management, Mrs. E Bradley Reynolds, Chairman of Insignia, from New York, presented the following report. INSIGNIA Madam President General National & State Officers Your National Committee for Insignia would like to present, in compliance with numerous requests, the following recommendation: That permission be granted by the National Board of Management, for the Specific Insignia, enclosed, (this Insignia is submitted, at our request, for your approval, by J. E. Caldwell, Official Jewelers, at the cost of $1.25 each) for one hundred hours of service in I D.A.R War Service Groups II The American Red Cross III Civilian Relief Organizations IV Military Service A permit for this Insignia to be granted upon presentation to the Registrar General, of a certificate for one hundred hours of service, in any of the above organizations. This emblem signified no desire for reward nor display for this service, which every member is grateful to give; but it is offered with the hope that it may be an incentive for superlative effort, and can be handed down as a "Record" to descendants, who may value it as we do the fragmentary date of our great- great-grandmother's service in Revolutionary days. How grateful we would be for a fuller account of their accomplishments. It is to establish such a Record that we recommend this simple but beautiful D.A.R. Insignia for War service. April 26th 1942 Respectfully submitted (Signed) HELEN PERRY REYNOLD Chairman The National Board at its October 22, 1943 Meeting passed a motion to accept the pin. The War Work Service Pin was then authorized by the Fifty-second Continental Congress in April The Committee on National Defense through Patriotic Service was authorized to continue the file of individual service records of members who gave at least 750 hours of verified service, and such members would be entitled to wear the War Work Service Pin. Today this pin can be seen in the collection displayed in the Assembly Room of the Administration Building at the National Society's Headquarters. Mrs. Crockett was priviledged to add to this collection when she presented the pin she bought from an antique dealer to the President General, Mrs. Walter Hughey King, in June Witnessing the presentation to the President General were the Georgia State Regent, Mrs. A. C. Earl Shepherd, the Chapter Regent of Baron DeKalb, Mrs. William H. Odum, past Chapter Regents of Baron DeKalb, Mrs. J. L. R. Boyd, Mrs. Edward Earl McBride Jr., and Mrs. Harry W. Tatman, and a member, Mrs. Harold C. Hull.

14 Drafting the Articles of Confederation York Ihwn, Pennsylvania 1777 BY PAMELIA NELSON LONG, Historian General The Treaty of Paris, ratified January 14, 1784, at the Maryland State House in Annapolis, signified that the American Revolution was over; but the crisis of peace was just beginning. Deep anxiety was revealed in the following statements by three prominent Americans: George Washington, "It is yet to be decided whether the Revolution must ultimately be considered a blessing or a curse." John Adams, "From the beginning [of the Revolution] I saw more difficulty from our attempts to govern ourselves than from all the armies and fleets of Europe." Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia told a Fourth of July gathering in 1787, "We have changed our forms of government but it remains yet to effect a revolution in our principles, opinions and manners so as to accommodate them to the forms of government we have adopted." The 1780s, a decade that began with victory at Yorktown, developed into troublesome times for the American people. There were mutinies and conspiracies in the Army, plus bitter arguments over the fate of the still largely unsettled parts of the country west of the Appalachian Mountains. Struggles for power developed between those who were spoken of as "the aristocrats" and those spoken of as "the lower sort" or "the common people." There was economic depression with abject shortages of money. Armed uprisings followed in the farmlands of New England. It was a time that has come to be thought of as the "Critical Period" of American History. Declaration of Independence. The American people did not go to war in 1776 just to be free of England's crippling tax and trade laws. Their desire was to live under a government of their own making, which Thomas Jefferson described as resting "on the consent of the governed." "We hold these Truths to be self-evident," Jefferson wrote in the Declaration, "that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles... as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Life, Liberty, Happiness and Equality, those were key words in the vocabulary of the Revolution. Our ancestors usually spoke of the government they wanted not as a "democracy" but as a "republic." They viewed a democracy as a system where the people governed directly all the people meeting together from time to time in the town hall to make laws and see to it that they were executed and obeyed. This system, they thought, would be workable for a small New England or Southern village, or even in a city the size of Boston or Richmond; but it would never do for a state or nation. For such vast areas, the only practical government was a republic, which to our ancestors, meant a system under which the people did not govern directly but elected certain officials to do the governing for them. War Years. At the beginning of the American Revolution, each of the thirteen states created its own republican government. In every state the people began this effort by getting rid of the officials King George III had appointed to rule them. This done, eleven states established new governments by writing constitutions. The remaining two adopted new conditions to the old charters granted by England; but later these two states also framed constitutions. The common people were fired by the conviction that "all men are created equal," but the rich merchants and big landowners dominated the affairs in most colonies. In some states the common people won. Pennsylvania, for example, established the most democratic government in Its state constitution extended the right to vote to all adult males who paid taxes. Previously voting rights were limited to property owners only. This took the political strength out of the hands of rich citizens of Philadelphia and vicinity and put it into the hands of farmers in the valley of the Susquehanna River and in the foothills of the mountains along the Pennsylvania frontier. The government consisted of two principal bodies: a one-house legislature and a small Executive Council headed by an official called the president. All power lay in the legislature. In South Carolina, a struggle by the small farmers to run the state 620 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

15 was unsuccessful. The wealthy rice planters who had been running the state for generations continued to do so. In New York the clash ended in a draw where the fight was largely between two groups the "manor lords" of the vast estates along the eastern banks of the Hudson River and the small farmers on the other side. Some parts of New York's first constitution were "democratical" and some were "aristocratical." One democratical feature provided that a man who owned little property, or even one who owned none at all but paid a certain rent, could vote for members of the Assembly, the lower house of the state legislature. One aristocratical feature was that only rich property owners could vote for members of the Senate, the upper house, and for governor. The aristocratical arrangement backfired in the first election. The common people's candidate, George Clinton, became New York's first governor. Rich property owners were chagrined how could this have happened? Easily! Wealthy Philip Schuyler, the aristocratical candidate, was a stern, haughty man. Some of his fellow manor lords disliked him and voted for Clinton. In addition, many of the small farmers on the eastern banks of the Hudson, where Clinton and his family lived, owned enough land to vote for all state officials. Small, but powerfully built, shrewd and able, George Clinton held the governorship for twenty-one years! Time, to be sure, showed that some of the first state governments were faulty and in need of change. It was another story when the time came to form central or national government. To this task the Americans brought neither experience nor the knowledge that only experience can give. During the colonial years, thought had been given to banding together under some kind of central authority; however, no attempt at union of the states worked until 1774 when the colonies began sending delegates to Philadelphia to form the Continental Congress. Delegates of this body could speak for all thirteen colonies in their quarrel with England. When the break with England came two years later, the Continental Congress stayed on to manage the war. The Congress, however, was not a legal government. In theory, it could do only what the states let it do. Everyone understood this, but it was known that a national government would have to be given some power. Few objected when, even as independence was declared, the delegates in Philadelphia began to draft plans for a legal national government to be known as the Confederation. Articles of Confederation. On November 13, 1777, after months of arduous debate, frustration, and hours of writing draft after draft, the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were completed. The author was the chairman of the committee, John Dickinson of Pennsylvania, with major revisions authored by Dr. Thomas Burke of North Carolina. These thirteen Articles consisted of our country's first national constitution and can be summarized as follows: Article 1 gave the Confederation-to-be its name, "the United States of America." Other articles or parts of them outlined the make-up of the Confederation Congress, directed the states in the selection of representatives, and outlined the rules under which Congress was to pass its laws. Articles 6, 7, and 9 listed powers of the Confederation. It could declare war, make treaties and alliances with other nations, settle boundary disputes between two or more states, and borrow money. Article 2 dictated what the Confederation could not do: emphasizing the Confederation could exercise only those powers given to it by Articles 6, 7, and 9. The Confederation could not levy or collect taxes, nor could it regulate trade among the states. "Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled." When the legislatures of all thirteen states had to ratify the Articles, controversy developed as to the disposition of the "Western lands" those vast and little known areas on the far side of the Appalachian Mountains. Under colonial charters issued by England, the states of Virginia, New York, and a few other considered themselves owners of large slices of this territory. These states were called "landed states"; the others, "landless states." The "landless states" wanted all western holdings handed over to the national government. After years of bitter debate, the western lands, claimed by the "landed states," were ceded to the national government. This convinced Maryland, the hold-out state, to ratify the Articles on March 1, 1781 in the Philadelphia State House on Chestnut Street. Philadelphia celebrated. Church bells clanged. Cannon boomed from gunboats in the river and from artillery posted in the city. There were parades and speeches during the daylight hours, and fireworks and candlelit windows after dark. It was the birthday of the Confederation! An experiment began a prelude to the Constitution. Reference: Milton Lomask, The Spirit of 1787, The Making of Our Constitution.

16 Landung einer Franzosifchen Hillis Armee in America, zu Rhode Island. am 11 ten Julius BY M. FOSTER FARLEY Professor of History Newberry College, South Carolina 622 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

17 Any civil war or revolution that lasts any length of time, attracts outsiders or foreigners who fight for pay, fame or glory. Foreigners found employment in the Greek struggle for independence against the Turk, non-spanish nationals served both sides in the Spanish Civil War of , Europeans served both the South as well as the North in the American Civil War, and the same was true during the American Revolution. The Americans had no organized armies in the beginning, and European officers "many of them unemployed and out at the elbows" volunteered their swords for pay. These officers, when their countries were at peace, were ready to bear arms in America; but they "would have been equally ready to enlist under the flag of the Great Turk if he had been in the need of troops:' In France the group of Frenchmen who were enthusiastic for the American cause were young nobles who "felt a sincere sympathy for the principles for which the American colonists had taken up arms." Inflamed by the Philosophers and the Enlightment who promised a new era of bliss, by politicians who declared the time was ripe for new forms of government, and by nobles who discovered a new interest in the welfare of the people, many a young soldier, with a genuine enthusiasm for the cause, "wished to help the American patriots in their effort to throw off English rule:' Time and space does not permit discussion of all the volunteers, so this writer has picked two Frenchmen, one a native, and one an adoptive son, a Prussian, and two Poles, as examples of the volunteers who came to America and offered their swords to Congress. Among the more famous let us consider Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert Du Motier, the Marquis de Lafayette, Baron Johann "de" Kalb, Frederich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von Steuben, Count Casmir Pulaski, and Tadeusz Ardrzej Bonawentura Kosciuszko. None of the just mentioned individuals made a fortune in service with the United States; one contributed over two hundred thousand dollars of his own to the Americans, one made America his home after the Revolution, two were killed in action, and the fifth went back to Europe. Of all the Europeans who served the American cause Lafayette is the most widely known, ranking next to Washington himself as the best remembered. This Frenchman has been remembered in the United States by towns and counties being named after him; and Congress made him an American citizen, that honor being passed to his descendants. Lafayette was born on September 6, 1757, the son of the Marquis de Lafayette, who was killed in one of the battles of the Seven Years' War in 1759; his mother died when Lafayette was thirteen and both parents "were descendants of notable and ancient French families:' As befitted a man of his station he was educated in the military tradition, and at the age of sixteen became a second lieutenant in a famous French regiment. At seventeen he married a woman of an important French family Marie Adrienne de Noalles, daughter of the Duc d' Ayen, and afterward the Duc de Noailles. It would seem that this shy awkward youth, who could not even hold his whiskey, and was laughed at by Marie Antoinette, was doomed to a life of boredom at Versailles. But it was not to be, for he began to hear of the plight of the American colonists in their struggle with England. Two things persuaded Lafayette to offer his services to the American cause. The first was the pervading French view to get even with England for France's defeat in the Seven Years' War in which she lost most of her overseas empire and for the death of Lafayette's father in that war. The other motive was the enthusiasm of most French aristocratic youths of his day had for the writings of Rousseau. At any rate, with the help of a friend, the Comte de Broglie, who at first was against the young French nobleman offering his services to America, Lafayette was successful. "I saw your uncle die in the war in Italy," he exclaimed, and "was present at the death of your father... I do not wish to contribute to the ruin of the sole remaining branch" of your family. But Broglie came around to Lafayette's view and smoothed the way with Lafayette's NOVEMBER 1984 relatives as well as with the French court. Some difficulties were encountered in Court circles, but he eventually overcame all the obstacles, and on April 20, 1777, he along with Baron de Kalb and twelve officers sailed aboard his ship The Victory. Several weeks later he landed at Georgetown, South Carolina, and six weeks after that found him in Philadelphia, pleading with a Congress that was already weary of foreign adventurers. But Lafayette was so insistent in his pleas that he serve at his own expense and as a volunteer, Congress soon accepted his services; he was created a major general, but without a command. When he first met George Washington on August 1, 1777, his career was assured. Washington soon looked upon the young Frenchman as the son he never had, and Lafayette perhaps looked upon the American general as the father he never knew. Lafayette joined Washington's staff, and saw his first action at the battle of Brandywine on September 11. Wounded in the leg, and after recovering, Lafayette led some troops against the Hessians. During the end of 1777, he commanded troops from Virginia and was given full authority as a major general. He shared the hardships at Valley Forge. Later he was placed in command of a show shadowery and ill conceived plan to invade Canada the plan fell through when Lafayette reached Albany in 1778 and found that nothing had been done to get the proposed expedition together. When Lafayette received the news of the Franco-American Alliance, he soon forgot the bitter memories of the proposed Canadian venture. He fought at the Battle of Monmouth, where he was nearly captured by the British, and later took part in the attack upon Newport, Rhode Island. In order to cement the French alliance, Congress voted him a sword, and sent him, with a letter of his deeds, to the French Court. While in France, Lafayette was showered with acclaim, entered into discussions on the future course of the war, suggesting Shown below is Lafayette the most widely known European to have served the American cause. Part of Washington's staff, Lafayette saw his first action at the battle of Brandywine on September 11,

18 an invasion of Great Britain, Ireland and Canada. He even wanted to hire part of the Swedish Navy for service in America. That he desired command of the French Expeditionary Force that was being readied for service in America was undeniable, but he enthusiastically supported the appointment of Jean-Baptiste, Comte de Rochambeau as commander. Lafayette soon returned to the New World, found Washington at Morristown, and resumed command of the Virginians. With Washington at West Point, he learned of Benedict Arnold's defection to the British, and served on the court martial which condemned British Major John Andre. Lafayette prevented the capture and destruction of Richmond in late April, 1781, and always outnumbered by the British, successfully harassed General Lord Cornwallis' troops as they slowly made their way towards Yorktown. In conjunction with Admiral de Grasse and the French fleet which prevented Cornwallis' escape by sea to New York, and blocked by the advancing armies of Washington and Rochambeau, the siege of the British at Yorktown began. When the British surrendered on October 19, 1791 it was a great day in the life of Lafayette, who remarked "the play is over and the fifth act has just ended:' Home was the destination of the young French hero in December, 1781, and on his arrival in France he was the center of attention (he loved it). He returned to the United States in August, 1784, and became a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and was given a great reception by Congress. When he returned to France he had nothing but the best to say of the United States. When the French Revolution began, although a supporter of the monarchy, he hoped that his country would adopt at least a Constitutional monarchy. When war broke out in 1792 between France and Prussia and Austria he served the king, but as the Revolution grew more radical he decided to desert his command. On August 19, 1792 he and a group of French officers rode across the border into Belgium, then known as the Austrian Netherlands. Instead of being welcomed as a friend, the Prussians and the Austrians held him in prison for five long years until he was finally released in Along with his Emily, he finally returned to France in 1799 and lived until his death in This brave Frenchman lost much of his fortune during the French Revolution, he had already spent over $200,000 in aiding the American cause; Congress in 1794 did vote him $24,424 as back pay during the American Revolution. In 1803 Congress awarded him a grant of 11,520 acres of land in Louisiana. In the twilight of his years he made a state visit to the United States in 1824, a tour that lasted more than a year. He never lost his faith in the destiny of the United States as a place of freedom, and although one of the leaders of the July Revolution of 1830, his wish for a republic was not realized, he nevertheless supported the new government of Louis Philippe. Just as opposite from the aristocratic tendencies of Lafayette was a adoptive Frenchman of German birth, Johann Kalb ( ). Although referred to as Baron de Kalb, he actually had no legal right either to the "de" or to the title of baron. A huge man, born of peasant stock in Germany, he was a professional soldier who served in the French armies with a rank of major in the Seven Years' War. In 1764 he married into money, and retired (for the moment), and lived near Paris. In 1767 the foreign minister of France, the Duc de Choiseul, sent him to America to report on affairs in the British colonies; De Kalb traveled in America for several months, but after awhile Choiseul lost interest in the project, and de Kalb returned to France and once more became a country gentleman. But he was on the lookout for military employment, and finally was enlisted as a major general by the American agent in France, Silas Deane. De Kalb sailed for America with Lafayette in While Congress accepted the services of Lafayette, that same body refused to honor the contracts made between Dean and de Kalb. The erstwhile adopted Frenchmen was finally employed by Congress when a vacancy materialized in the Continental Army; he was commissioned a major general. De Kalb was a man of Spartan nature who never drank wine or liquor; he could sleep any where and under any conditions, and awaken alert and refreshed. He campaigned at times with Lafayette, and in April, 1780 de Kalb was sent to relieve Charleston then under seige by the British. Due to lack of trained men and supplies, his journey was slow. In the heart of North Carolina at Buffalo Ford on the Deep River, his army halted. His men were exhausted, emaciated and hungry. There he heard of the appointment of General Horatio Gates, hero of the Battle of Saratoga, as commander-in-chief of the Southern Department. On July 25, 1780, "a day of intense heat," the two generals met. "We must attack Camden, South Carolina immediately," exclaimed the new commander; de Kalb pointed out that the men should be fed first. But Gates was for immediate marching: "We must cut off the whole western portion of Cornwallis' command. We will march in a straight line (they were in Hillsborough, North Carolina) to Camden, saving fifty miles:' De Kalb pointed out that they should travel through friendly country so that the troops could get supplies, for the route that Gates proposed was Loyalist territory and few if any supplies could be obtained. But Gates' views prevailed and in a straight line they marched. The American army numbered almost four thousand men but what an army. Most of the troops were green, and grew greener by the hour by eating green corn and half cooked meat. Suffering from diarrhea they straggled to meet the enemy. In contrast, the British Army was in tip top form, were well fed and competent. About six miles out of Camden the two forces met. After a few shots the American militia of Gates's army turned and fled. Some two thousand North Carolina militia also fled, quickly followed by the commander-in-chief himself, Gates covered one hundred and eighty miles in three days, all the way back to Hillsborough, North Carolina. Only General De Kalb who was in charge of the American right wing 624 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

19 composed of Delaware Continentals and a small group of Maryland Continentals remained to fight. De Kalb was a heroic figure: three times he charged the enemy, a horse was killed under him, and when the American position become hopeless, the adoptive Frenchman with sword in hand, led his few remaining men to the attack (the word surrender never occurred to De Kalb). He fell mortally wounded suffering from a saber cut to the head and bleeding from eleven wounds. His remaining men retreated. Three days later the brave general died from his wounds in Camden on August 19, This was one of the worst defeats suffered by the Americans in the Revolution. In the warfare of eighteenth century Europe, it was assumed that only the noble born were fit to be officers and to lead the rank and file. It was for that reason that Baron von Steuben inserted a "von" in his name and called himself baron, although he never was. Von Steuben came highly recommended by Beaumarchais, the early supplier of arms to the Americans: The art of making war with success being the fruit of courage combined with prudence, intelligence and experience, a companion in arms to the great Frederick, who was with him during twenty-two years, seemed to us all a man most fit to assist Monsieur Washington. Baron Von Steuben was born in 1730 and spent his childhood in Russia where his father served in the Russian army of the Empress Anne. At seventeen he entered the Prussian officer corps army, serving for many years with distinction until he was discharged in By 1777 he was seriously in debt, but his fortunes changed when Beaumarchais helped him get to America with the somewhat dubious title or rank of lieutenant-general. Apparently authorities did not check new employees as they do now, for von Steuben was welcomed by a Congress in exile at York, Pennsylvania. He made a hit by wavering all rank and pay for service in the American army, asking only that his expenses be paid. He was ordered to Valley Forge and met George Washington in late February, After some consultations, Washington made him his acting inspector general with orders to whip some shape and discipline into the woebegone men at Valley Forge. Von Steuben spoke no English; therefore, his commands were given by and with the aid of an interpreter. He drilled select groups of Americans in brief installments. He formed a model company of one hundred select men, and the rapid progress of this company had an immediate appeal to the imagination of the whole army. On May 5, 1778 he was commissioned a major general by Congress. At the Battle of Monmouth he saved the reputation of the Continenta! Army by rallying General Charles Lee's troops after that individual disastrously retreated. Later von Steuben wrote a field manual entitled Regulations for Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States. For the rest of the war he was busy perfecting the training and the discipline of the American Army and was also Washington's representative to the Congress in the efforts to upgrade the army. When General Nathanael Green was appointed commander of the Southern Department, von Steuben accompanied him as far as Richmond. He was left in command in Virginia and was ordered to make Virginia a supply base for Greene in the Carolinas. But his help was limited because he was harassed by the superior forces of Generals Benedict Arnold and William Phillips. When Cornwallis was bottled up at Yorktown, von Steuben commanded one of the three divisions of the American forces. During the rest of the conflict this Prussian served in various capacities in modernizing the army. He left the army on March 24, 1784, and by acts of the Pennsylvania and New York legislatures in 1783 and 1784 he was made an American citizen. He settled in New York and became active in the political and social affairs of that state. But von Steuben was careless with his finances because he anticipated a grant of approximately $60,000 for his military services. Instead, he was granted 16,000 acres of land north of Utica by New York. In 1790, Congress instead of granting him a lump sum, bestowed upon him a pension of $2,500 a year. He was saved from bankruptcy through the efforts of his friends, including Alexander Hamilton, who were able to settle his debts. He died in 1794 and left his estate to two former comrades in arms. The last two individuals to be discussed were Poles. One gave his life for the United States, and the other returned to Europe. Poland was a troubled land, dominated by Russia (some things never change). Count Casmir Pulaski ( ), a genuine count, was a Polish patriot who fought against Russia in 1772 during the first Russian Partition of that country. With his estates confiscated, Pulaski fled to Turkey where he remained for several years trying to incite the Turks to attack the Russians. By 1775 he was in France broke and down on his luck. Living from hand to mouth the following pathetic appeal to a Polish acquaintance Prince Karol Radzwill sums up his poverty: There is a special pleasure of the unfortunate in their trouble, when they can find consolation in friendship. My position is now so terrible that I am forbidden even that satisfaction. Therefore with trembling hand I make this appeal to your Princely Excellency in fear lest in creating over sympathy for my fate, I might become an unwilling intruder, and my firm convictions should impose silence, since it is no secret to me to what degree your tender heart bends to the suffering. I ask your Princely Excellency for help; send it for my recovery, and you will be certain to bind yourself one of the most grateful of men; honor itself given me freedom for my expression and I would most willingly finish my wretched life before I would risk being prodigal with your kindness... I have gone in debt here Marseilles; I am near to arrest for my debts, if the kindness of your Princely Excellency will not save me. Receiving no answer and owing debts to the amount of over $12,000 he was carted off to debtor's prison. In time NOVEMBER

20 wealthy Poles inside and outside of Poland came to his rescue. A friend, the Princess Sapeiha, ordered her banker, Saltz, to act as security for Pulaski's creditors and secure his release from prison. After his release, an agent of Vergennes, foreign minister of France, put him in touch with Franklin and Deane. Franklin wrote a letter of introduction for Pulaski to George Washington, which in part said: Count Pulaski, of Poland, an officer famed throughout Europe for his bravery and conduct in defense of the liberties of his country against the three great invading powers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, will have the honor of delivering this into your Excellency's hands. The Court here have encouraged and promoted his voyage, from an opinion that he may be highly useful to our service. Mr. Deane has written so fully concerning him that I need not enlarge; and I add my wishes, that he may find in our armies under your Excellency occasion of distinguishing himself. Deane advanced the Pole 480 livres for passage to America. He sailed for the New World on June 13, 1777, and arrived in Boston. After much delay he joined Washington in September of the same year as a volunteer, and took part in the battle of Brandywine. Later he served in the cavalry under General Anthony Wayne. But Pulaski was tempermental and tempestuous, and so was Wayne, the two could not get along: in March 1778, Pulaski resigned his command. Later he was given permission to organize an independent corps of cavalry. He served in various places, fighting in New Jersey and later chasing some troublesome Indians. On February 2, 1779 he was ordered south to support General Benjamin Lincoln. Arriving in Charleston on May 8 he suffered a bad defeat when he rashly attacked the advance guard of the British General Augustine Prevost, who seemed to be approaching Charleston from Savannah. Later Lincoln and Pulaski were ordered to help Admiral- General Jean-Baptiste Charles Henri, Comte d'estaing, who with almost thirty warships and many transports carrying approximately 4,000 troops, not counting the Americans, was about to assault Savannah, which was in British hands. Lincoln's and Pulaski's troops numbered only about 1,350 Continentals and militia. The British had barely 2,000 men. But D'Estaing, thinking that this campaign was a mere naval-military exercise, and not even consulting the Americans, landed his troops on the sandy beaches and marshes at the mouth of the Savannah River (the town is about sixteen miles from the Atlantic). D'Estaing's engineers assured him that Savannah could be captured in ten days, and the troops were put to work digging parallels (trenches), artillery was mounted, and instead of waiting, the Admiral-General ordered an immediate attack against the British entrenchments on October 9, Time the Frenchman did not have, for the hurricane season was in full swing, and his ships had no anchorage or good harbor for refuge. The French attack was a farce, Count Pulaski was hit in the groin by a musket ball and fell from his horse. His men left the fight to bring him out and D'Estaing was twice wounded himself. Only the 2nd South Carolina Continentals reached the British fortifications but could not take the redoubt. D'Estiang then called off the attack and sailed for home. The Allies lost 800 men, 650 of them French, the rest were Americans. The British losses were minimal. Pulaski was carried to the American warship Wasp but the finest French surgeons could not remove the bullet, and the Polish freedom fighter died on October 11, Some sources indicate he was buried at sea, while other authorities insist that he was buried somewhere on a sea island between Georgia and South Carolina. Then the Wasp entered Charlestown harbor with its flag at half staff; the populace soon heard the double bad news Savannah had not been taken and General Pulaski was killed in the attack. On October 22, a public funeral was held for the dead Pole. His splendid horse, with the rams and equipment of its dead owner, followed in the procession, which was so long that it was necessary to make a complete circle of the city. Congress proposed a monument but it was not erected until Pulaski was dead at the age of thirty-two, in the thick of battle a hero. Kosciuszko ( ), an American Revolutionary soldier as well as a Polish patriot, was not of the nobility as was Pulaski, but came from the small gentry class that existed in Poland during the eighteenth century. Educated by his uncle his father died when he was thirteen Kosciuszko was taught Greek, mathematics, drawing, and French. He knew Greek and of all the books he studied the Lives of Plutarch was his favorite. Studying at the Jusuit College at Beese, he then entered the Royal School at Warsaw, graduating in 1769 with the rank of captain. Receiving a scholarship to France, he studied engineering and artillery. When he returned to Poland in 1774, there was no opportunity for pursuing his talents in his native land, so he returned to Paris. When he heard of the American fight with England, he borrowed some money and sailed for America. After many interviews with various committees of Congress, he received a commission as a colonel of engineers. He served with Gates at Ticonderoga and was at Saratoga when General John Burgoyne surrendered to the Americans. He served at West Point from , where he was in charge of constructing the fortifications at that renowned citadel. Kosciuszko was "one of the few good military engineers in America," but "he was a hard man to get along with:' He did, however, know his business. In 1780 he was transferred to the Southern Department where he served until the end of the war. He was a man of many talents and ably served General Greene. It was Greene's idea that the many rivers in the Carolinas were not being used to their full military capacity, so Kosciuszko was (Continued on page 699) 626 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

22 HONOR ROLL CHAPTERS BY JEAN PRINTZ NATIONAL CHAIRMAN, HONOR ROLL COMMITTEE, rr he Honor Roll questionnaire is designed to help chapters evaluate their efforts to carry out specified activities and to determine how successful they have been in fulfilling the objectives of the National Society. The combined efforts of all chapters indicate continued interest and accomplishment in attaining the high goals of the National Society in educational, historical and patriotic programs. Although not all chapters participate, those that do believe it is helpful to have a tangible method whereby their achievements can be studied. Over 2900 reports were checked by this Chairman; 2,024 of the 3,150 chapters attained Honor Roll status, with 700 receiving the Gold Award. As in the past, #1 prompt payment of dues, #2 increase in membership and #9 magazine subscriptions seemed to present the most difficulties. States reporting 100% were: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia and Washington. The objectives and accomplishments of the National Society are reflected in the Honor Roll program and this chairman anticipates another outstanding year. The cooperation of the Chapter, State and National Vice Chairmen is much appreciated and a special thanks is extended to the personnel in the Office of the Committees, the Treasurer General's Office and to those brave ladies who helped distribute the certificates during Continental Congress. * Chapter Gold for 3 years ** Chapter Gold for 6 years *** Chapter Gold for 9 years **** Chapter Gold for 12 years ***** Chapter Gold for 15 years ****** Chapter Gold for 18 years ******* Chapter Gold for 21 years ******** Chapter Gold for 24 years Chapter Gold for 27 years ********** Chapter Gold for 30 years STATE No. of Chapters No. of Awards STATE No. of Chapters No. of Awards Alabama Montana 14 5 Alaska 5 5 Nebraska Arizona Nevada 4 4 Arkansas New Hampshire California New Jersey Colorado New Mexico Connecticut New York Delaware 9 6 North Carolina District of C North Dakota 5 0 Florida Ohio Georgia Oklahoma Hawaii 1 1 Oregon Idaho 9 4 Pennsylvania Illinois Rhode Island 19 6 Indiana South Carolina Iowa South Dakota 11 9 Kansas Tennessee Kentucky Texas Louisiana Utah 8 7 Maine Vermont Maryland Virginia Massachusetts Washington Michigan West Virginia Minnesota Wisconsin Mississippi Wyoming 11 3 Missouri Overseas DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

28 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

29 By RICHARD 0. ELDRED Department of History Nyack College, Nyack, NY ARAH MARY BENJAMIN, heroine of the Battle of Yorktown and later resident of Mount Pleasant Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania became a legend in her own lifetime. Like most legends, some aspects of her fascinating life have been distorted. Such has been the case concerning the year of her birth and her age. Rev. Samuel Whaley in his History of the Township of Mount Pleasant stated that she was born in 1745 and in 1855 was 110 years oldl; her gravestone in the Green Grove Cemetery that she was born November 17, 1744 and died April 20, 1859; and her obituary that she was born November 17, 1743 and died April 26, 1858 at the advanced age of 114 years and five months.' All of these conflicting accounts are secondary sources, but there is a document, unavailable to early historians, that contains a statement by Sarah, herself, concerning her age. On November 20, 1837, Sarah appeared before the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in Bethany, Pennsylvania, to give a sworn deposition concerning her marriage to Aaron Osborn during the Revolutionary War in order to obtain a pension. While under oath, Sarah said that she was eighty-one years old on November 17, That means that according to her own testimony she was born in According to her obituary she died on April 26, 1858 and, therefore, lived to the advanced age of 101 years and five months. Eliphalet Kellogg, the census taker of Mount Pleasant Township in 1840, recorded Sarah's age as eighty-four which agreed with her deposition. The distortion in her age occurred when William R. Stone, the census taker in 1850, listed her age as ninety-nine and Marshall Wheeler, correspondent for the American Phrenological Journal in the November 1854 issue, gave her age as This was an increase of twenty-five years in age in only fourteen years. Sarah's maiden name was Mathews. Her father had emigrated from Connecticut to the town of Blooming Grove, Orange County, New York, where Sarah was born. She lived there until she was about seven when the family settled along the Bushkill River which today flows between Pike and Monroe counties, Pennsylvania. The move probably occurred in June as she remembered picking ripe strawberries along the shore after crossing the Delaware River.3 While living on the Bushkin, Sarah experienced the dangers and hardships of frontier life, including hostile Indian attacks during the French and Indian War. She witnessed the destruction of the raid of Chief Joseph Brant on the Minisink settlement known today as Port Jervis, New York. When Sarah was twelve, her mother sent her one evening, just before dark, on an errand; but she was reluctant to leave the house because she had seen an animal she thought was a fox coming out of the swamp. When she and the family dog reached the cow shed, a panther suddenly leaped on the dog, seizing the poor animal in its jaws. Sarah quickly scrambled to the top of the shed for safety. Her mother, hearing the howls of her favorite pet, came running with an axe which she used on the head of the panther, killing the wild beast.8 Sarah married, for her first husband, William Read, who was killed in one of the early battles of the Revolution. She was then living at the home of John Willis, a blacksmith of Albany, New York. It was here that she first met Aaron Osborn who came to work as a blacksmith for Willis in the fall of Osborn told her that he had already served three years in the army, including one at Fort Stanwix. He had enlisted at Goshen, New York. Sarah consented to become his wife when he agreed to return to Goshen. They were married in the Willis home in January After the wedding Osborn informed her that they were not returning to Goshen, because he had enlisted in the army as a commissary sergeant in the New York Regiment commanded by Colonel Gose Van Schaick; he insisted that she accompany him. She at first refused until his company commander, Captain James Gregg, assured her that she would be able to travel on horseback or in a wagon. Osborn had served under Captain Gregg at Fort Stanwix and revealed that Captain Gregg had been scalped by Indians. Captain Gregg later told her the tragic story. He and two other men had been hunting pigeons near the fort when they were unexpectedly attacked by hostile Indians. His two companions were immediately killed; but a button on his cap had deflected the blow of the tomahawk to his head, leaving him unconscious. After scalping him the hostiles left him for dead. He was later found by his dog who obtained the attention of some men fishing near the fort. He suffered with spells of disorientation as a result of the injury and at such times would ask, "Sarah, did you see where I was scalped?" He would then take off his cap and show her his scar.' That winter, Sarah traveled with the soldiers under Captain Gregg on sleighs to West Point. They went back to Albany for a short time in the spring but soon returned to West Point where they spent the next year and a half. While there she stayed at Lieutenant Foot's boardinghouse and kept herself busy sewing and washing for the soldiers. She went with the soldiers when they moved to Kingsbridge to prepare for an attack on the British forces at New York City. When the men were loading heavy artillery, she relieved her husband as sentinel, wearing his overcoat and carrying his gun, in order that he might help the men in the loading. General George Washington during an inspection tour of his sentries asked her, "Who placed you here?" In a loud and firm voice she replied, "Them that has a right to, sir." Washington, accepting her reply, continued his tour 11) Instead of attacking the British at New York City, Washington in August 1781 moved his army toward Philadelphia. Sarah rode alternately on horseback and in a wagon. She rode proudly through the streets of Philadelphia on horseback to the Schuylkill where the army established camp for the night. The only other women traveling with the army that Sarah remembered were the wives of Sergeant Lamberson and Lieutenant Forman and a black woman named Letta. Because the army was short of bread, Sarah was employed to bake for the soldiers. The Quaker ladies of the community pleaded with her to stay with them but her husband said that he could not leave her behind.' The army marched to Baltimore were the soldiers under General James Clinton, including the company commanded by Captain James Gregg, boarded a vessel, sailed down the Chesapeake to the James River, and then sailed up the James NOVEMBER

30 for about twelve miles. Here they disembarked and feasted on fresh lobsters.12 From there they marched to Williamsburg; Sarah rode horseback part of the way and walked the rest. They encamped at Williamsburg for two days until the rest of the army moving overland arrived, and then marched to Yorktown. A number of Negro bodies littered the battlefield between the two armies, and Sarah was told that the British had driven them out of Yorktown when the food became scarce, and that they were caught between the lines of hostile fire.18 The Americans began to dig trenches and throw up breastworks while Sarah and the other women set up their wash stands behind the American tents. Sarah cooked for four soldiers besides her husband and carried meals of bread, beef, and coffee to the men in the trenches. In the heat of the battle, she carried water and tended to the needs of the wounded. One time she met General Washington as she was carrying food to the men in the midst of the battle. He asked, "Young woman are you not afraid of the bullets?' "No," she replied, "the bullets would not cheat the gallows!' He smiled at her quip. She continued, "It would not do for the men to fight and starve too:116 Each day the American trenches were dug closer to the British fortifications. One morning the British artillery fire was very heavy until about nine o'clock when the shelling stopped and the drums began to beat. Sarah was with a group of army officers who suddenly began to cheer and swing their hats in the air. She inquired, "What is the matter now?" "Are not you soldier enough to know what it means?" one of them asked. "No," she replied. "The British have surrendered," exclaimed the men.16 Sarah stood by the side of the road to witness the British soldiers surrender their arms. The British musicians played as Sarah remembered "a melancholy tune" with their instruments draped with black ribbons. She would never forget the long columns of weeping soldiers that filed by her.17 When she entered Yorktown after the surrender, she saw the vast destruction caused by the cannons. Houses were shattered and unburied bodies of Blacks were lying in the streets. In one of the large houses she noticed the floors were covered with broken china. She entered the building and in the midst of the rubble found a pewter lid for a hot basin. Just then the owner of the house appeared to claim his possessions, but insisted that she keep her find as a memento. She kept it for several years but eventually sold it for old pewter which she afterwards regretted. A few days later Sarah and her husband boarded a ship at Yorktown and sailed up the Chesapeake to the Head of the Elk where they disembarked. They then went by commissary wagons northward to Pompton Plains, New Jersey, to establish winter quarters. The main body of the army under General Clinton arrived several days later. Sarah and her husband resided for a time in a dwelling with log walls and a canvas roof but later lived with a Mr. Manuel near the Pompton Meetinghouse.18 In the Spring of 1782 they moved to West Point and stayed there until the following fall when they went to New Windsor to construct huts for winter quarters. It was at New Windsor that the army was finally discharged; Osborn held the rank of Corporal at the time of his discharge in June He and Sarah continued to live in one of the army huts until the Spring of Several of the soldiers boarded with them, working as laborers on nearby farms.18 It was at New Windsor that their two children were born, Phebe on February 20, 1783 and Aaron, Jr., on August 9, Phebe would later marry William Rockwell and reside in Dryden, New York. Aaron would live in Blooming Grove, become mentally disturbed, and die when he was about thirty years old." In the fall of 1784, three months after the birth of Aaron, Osborn deserted his family. Sarah later heard that he had married a girl named Polly Sloat and that they were living with her parents about fifteen miles above Newburg. She went to the home of the girl's parents and found her husband and his new wife there. She was invited to stay the night but returned to New Windsor in the morning determined never to have anything more to do with her husband. Two weeks later he came to New Windsor to coax her to take the children and go with him to the Mohawk Valley. She refused and he left that night. She eventually heard that he had married again and later died. According to his pension record he died June 27, 1819 at New Amsterdam, New York. She also heard that Polly Sloat had also died in a drunken stupor.21 Sarah moved to Blooming Grove where she supported her family by working for nearby farmers. She married in April 1787, at White Lake, John Benjamin for her third husband.' They had three children born at Blooming Grove, Helen, Samuel in 1792, and Christiana on May 25, Christiana would eventually marry David Mapes and reside in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.' John and Sarah moved to Mount Pleasant Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania,in 1822 where John died in April Although Sarah would receive a pension after 1837, she continued her daily work at the spinning wheel and became well known for the quality of her work. She scorned the new methods of manufacture and maintained that she was no "friend to machines that save labor and make people /azy."25 Visitors traveled long distances to buy her finely spun yarn and woolen stockings made by hand from the fleece. Rev. Samuel Whaley so highly prized a pair of stockings given to him by Sarah that he felt that it would be almost a "sacreligious act" to wear them.' Examples of her handiwork were exhibited at the American Institute, the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London, and the World's Fair at New York City.27 She won the premium prize for her linen cloth at the 1855 Wayne County Fair.28 In her latter years she suffered with rheumatism. Her pastor, Rev. Samuel Whaley, related that, On entering her room, she rose from her bed, and said very playfully, as we attempted to assist her, "Don't touch me; I am crockery, and must not be handled!' She sat down to her wheel, where she had already spun, during the day, ten knots, and began to spin. Soon she suddenly stopped from pain! and exclaimed, "0 why am I here so long, I am waiting to go:128 She was active in the religious life of the Pleasant Mount Presbyterian Church and supported its mission programs. When the children were raising money for the missionary ship, "Morning Star," she in jest said, "A child of my age should have a share in the good ship." She donated her share and was awarded a certificate with the rest of the children." Sarah enjoyed visiting her neighbors and friends and would walk whenever possible. When she had to use a carriage she would refuse to allow anyone to help her into the vehicle. Beine an independent spirit, she preferred to do it on her own. Yi Her memories in her latter years were often of the sights and sounds of the Revolution, and she loved to entertain visitors with stories of the war, describing details long forgotten by others. She often said that the roar of the cannon was still in her ears." The day before she died she was feeling well, but that night she sank into an unconscious sleep and the next day, April 26, 1858, passed peacefully away. FOOTNOTES 'Rev.

38 Margaret Catherine Moore (Kate) from a picture at Walnut Grove Restoration. The picture is a copy of the only likeness of Kate extant a brooch in the Regional Museum, Spartanburg. Below is shown Mrs. Berry's home, Walnut Grove. ecords show that in the mid-eighteenth century a multitude of settlers poured into old Ninety- Six District (then known as Craven County). Nearly all of them were Scots from the north of Ireland. No other country furnished the province of South Carolina with as many citizens as the north of Ireland,1 and "their religion," as Thomas Carlyle somewhere said, "was the chief fact about them?' "Theirs was the system of religious faith and worship", says Freud, "which has ever borne an inflexible front to illusion and mendacity, and has preferred rather to be ground to powder like flint, than to bend before violence or melt under enervating temptation?' From such a background came Margaret Catherine Moore Barry, the heroine of the Battle of Cowpens. Charles Moore settled near the North Tiger River on land granted during the reign of King George III of England, the original tract of 550 acres being given July 16, 1763 with subsequent grants bringing the total to 3,000 acres. At this time the land was almost a paradise. Wild turkeys made the air ring with their calls. Hundreds of buffalo roamed over these green meadows and cane brakes, their trails later becoming the first roads in Spartanburg County. Shad came as far inland as Spartanburg County and spawned in the picturesque "trough" of the Pacolet River, near the town that bears its name. The land was naturally very rich. Wild peas grew in great abundance, giving a mild fragrance to the air and adding a bluish bloom to the multitude of other plants, which offered their rainbow of blossoms to the bees, whose storehouse of honey was found in almost every hollow tree. Deer, elk, bear and panthers in great abundance found this country a great home land. Indians came to the area to hunt, fish, and make their cooking vessels from soapstone and cropping, still to be found near Pacolet. Margaret Catherine Moore (Kate) was born in 1752, the first of ten children, to Charles and Mary Moore. Family tradition has placed her birthplace in Ireland and Pennsylvania but recent information indicates her birthplace to be North Carolina.2 Her life, in the crucial period in which she lived, proved that she was in every sense a strong character. The picture on the mantel over the fireplace in the master bedroom at Walnut Grove Restoration is a copy of the only likeness of Kate existing today. The original likeness is a brooch in the Regional Museum next to the Spartanburg Library. This brooch was inherited by Mrs. Sarah Clark. Mrs. Clark had passed it on to her neice, "Miss Kitty," of Gunsmoke fame, but decided a safer place to keep the brooch for posterity would be in the museum. "Miss Kitty," returned the brooch to her aunt, who, with the assistance of Mr. James E. Buchannon had it placed in the museum with hand written directions (written by Mrs. Clark) that the brooch was never to be moved or loaned for fear that it be lost. Kate planted a row of walnut trees by dropping walnuts into furrows made for the purpose, thus providing the name for the plantation when the early post office was placed there.3 "Descendants" of the original walnut trees today grace the landscape in the area around Walnut Grove Plantation.

39 At the age of 15, in 1767, not long before the Revolutionary War, Kate married Captain Andrew Barry Andrew was a magistrate under King George III until the war broke out. He was one of the first elders of Nazareth Presbyterian Church, a member of the Council of Safety in the Upper District and leader in the "Snow Campaign" in 1776 (so called because of the great amount of snow on the ground that winter) which helped end the hostility of the Indians. A Captaincy was conferred upon him and his daring and resolute courage meant safety for several communities. He was said to be a handsome man. A portrait painted of him at about forty (and until destroyed by fire) was owned by his grandson Richard Barry. It revealed that he had a "light colored face, unshaved temples, dark hair, flesh colored cheeks and blue eyes." He was dressed in a Prince Albert coat and a white shirt with a standing collar. Andrew and Kate settled across the Tyger River, about two miles from Walnut Grove. This house was vacated in the early 1900s and fell into ruin, later completely disintegrating. During the War of 1776 Kate acted as volunteer scout and guide for the Patriots or Whigs of the Carolina Piedmont area, and was so effective that the patriot bands were never taken by surprise. Her scouting operation for the most part was in the portion of Spartanburg County drained by the three Tygers (North, South, and Middle Tygers). Kate was an excellent horse woman, riding side saddle. She was familiar with wilderness and Indian trails in her area.' It was quite natural for her to mount her horse and ride to where the Patriots were camped and warn her husband and friends of impending danger. She had an ally in a Negro slave, Uncle Cato, who was devoted to her. When it was impossible for her to go, she would send the message by him. She and her faithful slave would fill hollow trees with corn to provide against emergencies. Sometimes a raid by the Tories left families destitute and such caches could be used to feed people and animals.' Besides her husband, she had a brother, Thomas Moore, who fought at the Battle of Cowpens at seventeen years of age and who later was to become Major General in charge of the forces on the coast in the War of General Thomas Moore was elected to the Congress several times. Kate's husband was a sharpshooter in General Pickens' brigade.' She also had several brothers-in-law who were famous Revolutionary War soldiers. To collect troops she encountered many dangers, but she succeeded in raising a sufficient number to aid in the best fought battle of the Revolution, the Battle of "the Cowpens." When General Green, after the defeat of General Gates at Camden, was placed in command, he sent General Daniel Morgan into South Carolina to gather the defeated Patriots preparatory to reclaiming South Carolina. After Gates' defeat and Buford's annihilation at the Wax Haws, the Whigs "lay bleeding at the feet of the British Lion" It was then that Kate, in her voluntary capacity as scout for General Morgan, hunted up Patriot bands and sent them on to General Daniel Morgan who was fleeing from Tarleton. He could not stand and fight BY MARY MONTGOMERY MILLER Kate Barry Chapter, South Carolina

40 until he had sufficient men. Thus General Morgan was able most successfully to give battle to Banistre Tarleton at Cowpens. Andrew Barry and his company under General Pickens was in the forefront in Morgan's lines at the Battle of Cowpens. During the battle the women of Nazareth Presbyterian Church were assembled at the home of Andrew Coan near the church and Kate waited at the shoals on Tyger River, just outside Nicholl's Fort where Anderson's Mill now stands on the old Georgia Road. She stood on the rocks awaiting news from the battle. When informed of the victory by William Caldwell and the safety of her husband she rushed to her anxious friends with the good news. The defeat of Tarleton at the Cowpens was a disastrous loss to the British war effort. Tradition gives Kate credit for being a considerable scout. It says that when the Tories under "Bloody Bill" Cunningham made their infamous raid into her section, Kate heard them from across the river near her father's house. Tying her two year old child, Catherine (Little Katie) to the bed post in lieu of a baby sitter, she rode to her husband's unit for help and consequently the Dries retreated in defeat. Down through the years she has justly been accorded the title of the "Heroine of the Battle of the Cowpensf7 Once the Tories came to her house demanding to have information as to the whereabouts of her husband's company. Upon her refusal to give it, she was tied up and struck three times with a leash. Thus she became the idol of her husband's company. Any one of them would have given his own life to save hers. After the war, Major Crewford, a mutual friend said to Andrew Barry, "it's your duty to kill Elliott, the Tory, who struck Margaret Barry with a whip. But if you will not, then I will kill him, for no man shall be allowed to live who struck Margaret Barry'' Then her husband went with ten men to find Elliott. When he found Elliott, Andrew Barry became so enraged that he picked up a stool and struck Elliott senseless to the floor. He then exclaimed, "I am satisfied, I will not take his life In another incident, with the British close behind in hot pursuit, Kate swam her horse across the Pacolet River near Hurricane Shoals (where Converse Mill is today). Miraculously the water rose to an almost unprecedented peak just as she and her horse reached dry ground on the other side, thus preventing the British from capturing her and the important news she carried.' Andrew Barry died in September Kate outlived him by fourteen years. In 1823 she died at the age of seventy-one and was buried at Walnut Grove. Her tombstone reads, "Sacred to the memory of our mother, Margaret Barry who departed this life September 29, 1823, aged 71 years?' She left a short will, which is on file at the Spartanburg County Courthouse. The descendants of Margaret Barry are found in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama but principally in Mississippi.

48 1111 tli llaptfs WARRENSBURG (Missouri) recently celebrated its 75th Birthday with a gala luncheon attended by 75 members and guests. Special recognition was given to the 50-year members of the chapter, four of whom were present: Jessie May Osborn, Lillie Schneitter, Annabel Reynolds, and Dearing Fewel (pictured above). Five others are living but were unable to attend. All fifteen members who have received gold 50-year pins since the Chapter was organized on April 10, 1909 were listed on a special honor roll, displayed with historical pictures, clippings and memorabilia. Seven state officers and four chapter regents shared the head table with Lucy Mudd, Warrensburg Regent, who presided. A musical program followed the luncheon. The Warrensburg Recorder Consort, in medieval costume, played Renaissance and Revolutionary War selections on authentic instruments. Each guest received a miniature DAR doll favor. The history of the original was told by Elizabeth Smiser Schwensen, who designed and made the replicas, assisted by Hannah Baston, Elizabeth Hull and Roberta Bass. A beautifully framed Charter was presented to the Chapter by Ruth Dudley, 75th Birthday Chairman, a birthday gift from the 1984 Executive Board. She also gave a brief memoir of the founding and history of the Chapter, and a tribute to the friendship and heritage linking the five neighboring chapters. Jacqueline Williams, Vice Chairman, Marjorie Houx, Nadine Abney, and Mrs. Schneitter also assisted with the arrangements. A group photograph was made which will join those of the 25th and 50th Anniversaries in the Chapter Archives. Ruth Barber Dudley. JOSEPH LIGON (Paris, TX) celebrated its 70th anniversary with a George Washington Tea at the Texas historical home of Mrs. Dudley Hubbard. Mrs. Hubbard is the daughter of a charter member, Mrs. William Folsom Moore, and herself a member of the chapter for 61 years. The Joseph Ligon Chapter was organized on February 20, 1914, by Mrs. W. F Gill with 17 original members. This year the chapter has a membership total of 67. Mrs. Charles J. Meyer, Regent, and Miss Francenia Hicks, first Vice-Regent, welcomed more than 100 members and guests during the afternoon. Members of the executive board were co-hostesses and served as members of the house party. Hostesses for the celebration were Mrs. Clyde Darnell, Mrs. E. P Dickson, Mrs. Quicy Hazlewood and Mrs. Hubbard. Mrs. C. H. Webb, Charter member, was honored, but was unable to attend. A brief ceremony was held at 3 p.m. for the Good Citizen Award winners from four area high schools. Chosen for outstanding leadership and patriotism were the Misses Laura Izzo of North Lamar, Celestia Lollar of Delmar, Patricia Duke of Roxton, and Mr. Shannon Reeves of Paris High School. Mrs. Meyer, Miss Hicks and Mrs. Norman Davis presented certificates from the National Society and Good Citizen pins to each. Mothers and grandmothers of the recipients were recognized. Scrapbooks and memorabilia of the Chapter's history were displayed, and a beautifully decorated anniversary sheet cake decorated in red, white and blue centered the antique dining table covered by an heirloom cloth. Maidie Barr. LUCINDA HINSDALE STONE (Kalamazoo, MI) celebrated its eightieth birthday. It was organized on October 15, 1903 and chartered March 21, The program speaker was Dr. Gail B. Griffin, Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo, Michigan, whose topic was, "On the Way to the Good Lucinda." Dr. Griffin has written a book, Emancipated Spirits: Portraits of Kalamazoo College Women. The second chapter is entitled, "Heretic: Lucinda Hinsdale Stone!" Our namesake was picked in the very early 1900s because she was a champion for women. In the 1870s she was championing her husband, who was the first president of Kalamazoo College, to admit women coeducationally with men to learn in the same room! Prior to the advent of Lucinda, women were taught whatever they needed to know under separate roofs, and you can believe it was limited in scope! She petitioned women's rights in many other areas, too, including starting a Ladies' Library Association in Kalamazoo, so the ladies could join together to discuss great books. The building still stands on South Park Street and it is an on-going organization. She was the Devil's Advocate in many areas concerning women, and eventually, her husband was fired from Kalamazoo College because of his crazy wife! Lucinda Hinsdale Stone was a lady truly born one-hundred years too soon! Edith A. Groat. SUMTER'S HOME (Sumter, SC) awarded the Medal of Honor to Mrs. Myrtis Ginn Osteen recently at the First Baptist Church where Mrs. Osteen had founded and organized an orchives room. Mrs. Archie M. LeGrand, Regent, is shown pinning the Medal on Mrs. Osteen after reading the National Chairman of the Americanism Committee's endorsement of the nominee. Mrs. W. C. Pitts, Vice Regent, read a list of Mrs. Osteen's accomplishments and services to Historical and civic organizations and her activities in historical preservation. The City of Sumter presented her with a Key to the City and an engraved silver tray. A resolution which had been passed by the South Carolina General Assembly was read. South Carolina State Regent, Mrs. James Hugh Crawley, spoke. An area school superintendent expressed appreciation for Mrs. Osten's work as valuable to school children. The Sumter County Historical Society Archives-Museum had its beginning in Mrs. Osteen's home where she collected records, data and artifacts. She helped with the research and placing of 24 historical markers as a member of the Sumter County Historical Commission. She compiled an inventory of historical sites in the county. She worked with the author in publishing two volumes of "Historical Sketches of Sumter County." The second volume is dedicated to her. Many other organizations have benefitted from her knowledge and experience. 654 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

49 Mrs. Osteen's response to the reward epitomized her love for historical preservation. She said, "You may not know it, but on a lot of these projects I would have paid you to let me do the work." A reception was held in the church parlor for over 100 civic leaders, officials, family and friends. JAMES ALLEN (Amelia and Nottoway counties, VA). We increased National and State donations. We award four Good Citizens Medals annually and sponsor the History Essay Contest in Nottoway and Amelia counties. We lost one member by death, but gained a new member so our enrollment is still 52. We have seven Junior members. We continue to promote Peter Francisco on state and national levels. The Theme for our Tivelfth Peter Francisco Festival was on Defense. Our Good Citizens were speakers. We encourage patriotism in the schools through frequent visits and giving assistance in special programs. We presented a Flag to the Nottoway Historical Society for their headquarters building, and one member was County Chairman for the project of refinishing Civil War Markers. We presented a Certificate to a Viet Nam Veteran who spoke on "Why I Fly My Flag Every Day!" In his speech he said, "I saw so much disrespect for the Flag during the War that I resolved to show my honor and respect by flying it every day since." We had good publicity on this, and recently we counted seven new flags flying every day from residences. We had an outstanding program on National Defense, with a speaker from the Pentagon. On another program we presented a speaker who talked on "Local Indian History." We had good attendance at two luncheons and a tour of Virginia Museum in April and also in October. Julia D. Brown. HANNAH GODDARD (Brookline, MA) held a meeting at the Edward Devotion House. Mrs. Helen McIntosh, Curator of this house, and third grade teacher in the Lawrence School was awarded the American History Award Medal by Mrs. Raymond E Fleck, Recording Secretary General. Mrs. McIntosh is known for her outstanding contributions to the town of Brookline through her study and promotion of the history and architecture of the town. Her third grade students, with her help, wrote "Mr. Mouse Sees Brookline" as a Bicentennial project. This was published by the Bicentennial Commission of Norfolk County for use in a state wide bicentennial celebration. She compiled a history of the water system and the need for methods of environmental control and is currently writing a history of the Brookline Court System and "Architecture, A Resource of Teaching" focusing on Brookline history, economics, geography and architectural heritage. Mrs. Paul H. Walker, Chapter Historian, presented the outstanding American History Teacher Award to Mr. Bradford Wright of the Brookline High School. Mr. Wright has won the State DAR contest. Mrs. Walker presented the DAR Good Citizens with their pins, Patricia Sweeney of Stoughton High School and Anastasia Koniaris of Brookline High School. SERGEANT NEWTON (Covington, GA) commissioned students in the industrial arts class at Newton County High School to build a cabinet to house the chapter's historical memorabilia in the local Porter Memorial Library. The chapter's records and scrapbooks and the original charter will be placed on permanent display within the cabinet which was made to the specifications set forth by the Library Board. Under the auspices of the Newton County Chapter of the American Industrial Arts Student Association and their advisor, Kenneth Mitchell, students in the Wood Tech III class constructed the cabinet as a community service project. The DAR provided the funds for materials ($304) and Mitchell said that the retail price for a similar cabinet would have been nearly $2,000. In the picture, John Roberts, Newton AIASA President, is shown presenting the keys to the cabinet to Miss Mary Jane Dixon, Sergeant Newton Chapter Recording Secretary, and Chairman of the Cabinet Committee, as (left to right) Mrs. Godfrey Trammell, First Vice Regent, and Porter Memorial Library Board member, Benny Williams, Roberts, Dixon, Steve Foster, AIASA Vice President, and Scott Strange look on proudly. HUNT'S SPRING (Huntsville, AL) held a memorial dedication ceremony for both William Wiggins, Revolutionary Soldier and his wife, Elizabeth (Cooper) Wiggins. Both graves were marked with bronze memorial plaques. There were over 300 descendants, DAR members, and public officials from throughout eight states in attendance. The impressive afternoon ceremony was held at Wiggins Cemetery in the Mexia Community of Monroe County, Alabama. The response and hospitality of the local community was gratifying in their welcome to their out of town guests in honoring a Patriot who had fought for our Freedoms. The cemetery and road leading to it were decorated with large American flags. Mrs. Colson then gave a brief Wiggins family history from Thomas Wiggins arrival in Virginia in 1635 through William and Elizabeth Wiggins settling in Monroe County, Alabama in Also, noted was William's Revolutionary service while living in Duplin and Sampson counties, North Carolina. Mrs. Rita Horton conducted the ceremonies' ritual and the bronze markers were unveiled by descendants, Mr. Oscar Wiggins and Mr. Buel B. Bell. Four descendants and DAR members, each a descendant of a different son of William and Elizabeth Wiggins, placed the red, white, and blue arrangements on the graves. Mrs. Virginia Whitaker represented their son Elihew born 1776; Mrs. Patricia Wiggins Rankin represented Willis born 1781; Mrs. Judy Rowell Smith represented Elijah born 1784; and Mrs. Willie Mae Wiggins Klepec represented Stephen born Immediately following the service, the Hunt's Spring Chapter held a reception at the fellowship hall of the Mexia Baptist Church.

At the height of its prosperity in 1817 and 1818, Elvira had two general stores, a blacksmith shop, doctors' offices, lawyers' offices, the courthouse, a jail and a post office. The courthouse was moved to Vienna on October 22, Eagle School Project of Stuart D. James Troop 44, Boy Scouts of America Anna, Illinois" Stuart James stands between the renovated Elvira marker and sign, located on a county road running between Lick Creek and Buncombe, IL Johnson County, IL carved out of St. Clair County in 1812, included all or parts of the ten southern-most counties of the state of Illinois. A spot near the center of this vast county was pinpointed and a building erected for a court of justice. With the erection of the courthouse, a village sprung up and was named Elvira, in honor of the wife of then Gov. Edwards. The Illinois Territorial Legislature officially named Elvira the Johnson County seat in 1812 several years before Illinois became a state. As the area became more populated, the counties of Alexander, Pulaski, Massac, Union and Johnson; and part of Hardin, Pope, Saline, Williamson and Jackson were formed from the original Johnson County, and Elvira was no longer the center. As feared, the county seat was moved east to Vienna on October 22, 1821 and Elvira slowly ceased to exist. Cornfields and weeds grew where the village once stood. In 1923, the Daniel Chapman Chapter, Vienna, of the DAR placed a marker and stone near the site of the Elvira courthouse "less we forget... " Over the years, weeds and vandals took their toll. In July 1982, Stuart James, of nearby Anna, undertook to renovate the marker as his Eagle Scout Project. He cleared the area, constructed a new base and righted the marker. He also erected a sign to explain the history of the site to visitors. Stuart continues to maintain the area each summer. We, Division 7 of the Illinois Society, NSDAR, salute and thank Stuart James for this worthwhile community service. Bonpas Daniel H.

74 Located on the crest of a hill overlooking Clermont, Iowa and the Turkey River valley is Montauk, the historic Victorian home of Iowa's 12th governor ( ), William Larrabee. The grounds of the 160 acre estate are landscaped with trees and the drive lined with statues of Civil War heroes. The house was built in 1874 by E. Townsend Mix, architect of the Villa Louis in Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin, while Larrabee was still a state senator. His wife, Anna, named the house after the Long Island lighthouse that symbolized coming home to her seafaring family in the East. Of the seven Larrabee children raised at Montauk, the middle child, also named Anna, lived in the house until her death in 1965 at the age of 97. The house has been changed little over the years and has its original furnishings as well as pictures, clothing, housewares, and bundles of letters and papers. Visitors will find the house looking much as it did during the time the family lived there. The wife of Gov. Larrabee, daughters Anna and Helen Larrabee Robbins, and granddaughters Julia Robbins Allen and Anna Marcella Robbins Yarnall were DAR members descended from William Williams IV of Conn. The mansion was given to the state of Iowa to be shown to the public as a family home. 680 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Through the efforts of the Chapter Historian, Mrs. Wood Privott, an original portrait of Frances Tredwell Iredell, wife of former Governor James Iredell, Jr., has been acquired for the James Iredell House in Edenton. The portrait was painted in 1857 by William Garle Brown of New York City and was formerly owned by Frances Iredell Luther of Wilmington, NC. The James Iredell House now has four portraits of the Iredell family: James Iredell, his wife Hannah Johnston Iredell, their son James Iredell, Jr., and their son's wife Frances Tredwell Iredell. The chapter has received a Special State Preservation Award from the American Heritage Committee for acquisitions in the James Iredell House. Mrs. Privott and Mrs. Jackie Ricks were co-authors of the Preservation Report. In 1949 the chapter purchased the James Iredell House to save it from possible destruction. James Iredell was appointed Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court by George Washington. Although the Iredell House is now owned by the State of North Carolina, the Edenton Tea Party Chapter Regent and at least three members of the chapter always serve on the Board of Directors for the James Iredell Association.

The city of Holland has its Kollen Park Fire Station viewing Lake Macatawa, and the flag is permanently displayed on a very tall pole in a lovely park setting. Mr. DeNooyer has one of the largest flags on display in Michigan. It is approximately fifty feet long, and because it is on a pole just short of requiring aircraft warning lights, it can be seen for miles on U.S. 31. Flags here are used for three months and then donated to worthy groups. The Fire Chief rolled out the big hook and ladder equipment, and the newspaper photographer climbed aboard the bucket to photograph the flag being raised while members of the chapter watched.

ASHUELOT (Keene, New Hampshire) honored Catherine Norwood Winters (Mrs. Kurt) for her devoted and valuable support and especially for her interest in DAR American Indian Schools. In her name an ongoing scholarship was established at Bacone College. This was presented to her, at a special ceremony, by the New Hampshire State Indian Chairman and National Vice Chairman of Indian Schools Arlene George (Mrs. Ernest). At this same meeting a flag with standard was presented to the Keene Public Library in memory of Elizabeth Bryant Jackson, a valued and longtime Ashuelot member. JOSEPH KERNER (Kernersville, NC) celebrated the date of American Independence by participating in the town's large annual Fourth of July parade. A car donated by a local dealer was decorated with large and small American flags and driven by the chapter's new Regent, Mrs. Robert S. Chafee, with its oldest and charter member, Mrs. Iona M. Bellamy, waving to the large crowd along the two-mile parade route. Although the chapter now has only 14 members it is very supportive of national and state projects with special emphasis on the Crossnore School by sending boxes of clothes, toys, and articles for resale in the Sales Store and one member regularly knits caps, scarfs, mittens, and slippers for the Bird Cage gift department. ST. CHARLES (Missouri) celebrated its 75th anniversary with a Silver Jubilee tea. Mrs. Joseph Towle, Past State Regent of Missouri, was present as well as many other state officers, committee chairmen, and Regents of closeby chapters. The chapter's original charter was displayed and also their gavel, which was fashioned from the wood of a tree in Daniel Boone's old homestead. Refreshments were served then followed a program given by their Regent, Miss Garlin Kellison. Mrs. Grace Arseneau gave a brief history of the chapter and presented various awards. Mrs. Janine Gianino modeled a gown of the 1909 era. The St. Charles Chapter, pictured, is especially proud of its cooperation in state and national projects. NAMAQUA (Loveland, CO) began its program year with a picnic and walk around beautiful Sprague Lake in the Rocky Mountain National Park. During the fall, members learned many little known facts about the Treaty of Paris and the reasons for a strong defense. Three hundred and fifty pounds of clothing were taken to St. Mary's School by Mrs. Daniel Bath and Nancy Lampe. Mrs. Noka B. Hon wrote and narrated "How Far to Bethlehem" for members and guests at the Christmas Party. Cash donations, personal gifts, craft supplies, books and 24 lap robes were given to the Denver Veteran's Hospital. January was a gala occasion with a 70th Anniversary Celebration. Members dressed in clothes of the past and local and national events of the period were reviewed. The theme, "Herbs of Revolutionary Times," was enjoyed by 200 members and guests at the February Patriotic Tea. Lemon Grass Tea, popular in Revolutionary times, was served with cookies and cakes made by members from Revolutionary era recipes. The table was covered with a red, white and blue coverlet centered with an herb arrangement. Tea service and trays were antique brass and copper. In the spring Mrs. Frank S. Crane, Colorado State Regent, explained her project to locate Santa Fe Trail Markers and Mrs. Alexis Coquillard, Jr., Membership Chairman of the Colorado State Society, presented the Resolutions passed at Continental Congress. She urged members to be familiar with them and, as individuals, to work for them. Mrs. Robert Korth, Regent, presented gifts to 13 members at the annual Flag Day Picnic. These members had reached or passed their 80th birthday and were honored for 257 years of service. (Continued on page 688) 686 DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

82 Chapter Reports (Continued from page 686) Evening meetings have been held for members who are unable to attend daytime meetings. This has given Junior members more opportunity to participate in projects and decisions. A successful bazaar, card party and garage sale has enabled the Chapter to be more generous in giving to NSDAR projects. Local donations have included library books, flood restoration at Rocky Mountain National Park and $100 to the new Mammography Room at the McKee Medical Center. NACOGDOCHES (Nacogdoches, TX) initiated and jointly sponsored a tremendously successful exhibit of the Lincoln Exemplar of the Magna Carta at Stephen F. Austin State University, with Mrs. Branch Patton, Chapter Regent, serving as Chairman of the Exhibit Committee. The Nacogdoches County Bar Association and Stephen F. Austin State University joined the chapter as sponsors, and eight local financial institutions supported the showing. One of four remaining of twenty original copies, the Lincoln Exemplar has been the property of Lincoln Cathedral, Lincolnshire, England, since it was sent there in 1215 for reading to the people and for safekeeping. This Great Charter of King John was the origin of the liberties and laws of the British and American peoples. For the last several years the Lincoln copy has toured the United States during winter months under arrangements of the Magna Carta in America Foundation. "Magna Carta in Nacogdoches" included impressive Opening Ceremonies, special auxiliary exhibits, films, lectures, and a gala private viewing reception. Jack Pope, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas, was featured speaker at the Opening Ceremony. In excess of 15,000 persons, coming as groups, schools, and individuals from all over East Texas, viewed the priceless document during the event. Nacogdoches chapter was pleased to help provide the citizens of their city and state with such a significant and beneficial opportunity.

Mangham, Mayor, and William R. Johnson, President, SFASU. JARED MANSFIELD (Mansfield, OH) presented a stainless steel plaque to the City of Mansfield on its 176th Birthday designating for whom the city was named, Lt. Col. Jared Mansfield. Our 65-year old chapter holds his name, too. Our Presentation and Dedication Ceremony opened with a Bugle Call to Assembly by Vice Regent, Mrs. Charles Vail's, grandson Scott Vail, U.S. Air Force, followed by Welcome by Regent, Mrs. J. Glenn key, and the DAR Opening Ritual. We were proud to have OSDAR Regent, Mrs. Donald S. Blair, bring greetings. We also introduced Mrs. Robert King, OSDAR Vice Regent; Miss Marjorie Glinther, OSDAR Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. William Knight, OSDAR Organizing Secretary; and Mrs. Arthur Cloran, OSDAR Registrar. The plaque, veiled with a miniature 1777 flag made by Vice Regent Vail, was held by her granddaughter, Jacquelyn Banks, C.A.R. Our newest member, Mrs. Michael Mc- Daniel (Deb) who just had been crowned "Mrs. Ohio America 1984" unveiled the plaque and presented it to President of City Council, Paul Delianides, and Honorable Mayor Edward T. Meehan. The plaque was bolted to a cement pylon in the City Administration Building Courtyard. Following the Prayer of Dedication and the Benediction, the ceremony was closed with bugle taps and an echo in the distance on a trombone. Preceding the ceremony, a Brunch was held at the Mansfield Women's Club for 64 persons including DAR from our chapter, those from local Mary Washington Chapter, five State Officers, HODAR and distinguished guests. In the photo are Mrs. Jane Harper, Chapter DAR Museum Chairman and Mrs. Sandor Csobaji, Chapter Guardian of the Colors, unfurling our chapter flag beneath the new plaque. Janet K. lrey. CARTER BRAXTON (Baltimore, MD) conducted a Memorial and Dedication Service at the grave of Claudia Pearre Shramek (Mrs. Frank) at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens, Timonium, Maryland. Mrs. Shramek served enthusiastically for many years both as a Maryland Daughter and on the National level. She was Honorary State Regent and past Vice President General. Members of the Maryland Society SAR Color Guard presented the Colors. Mrs. W. Alan Waltham, Regent, presided and gave the Eulogy. An evergreen wreath was placed at the DAR bronze grave marker.

84 Chapter Reports (Continued from page 688) Staff members from National Headquarters, Mary Bell, Carolyn Shearer, and Belva Geist lectured at the conference on the DAR Library, Lineage Research, and the National Union Catalog. These staff members then volunteered their time at the DAR booth providing information and help to prospective DAR and SAR members. Approximately 500 conferees visited the DAR booth. BETTY BONNEY (Arkansas City, Kansas) members are all pleased with their new Regent, Erma Clark. Under her guidance, our year book won first place at the state convention held in Hutchinson. Erma and Patricia Brooks attended the state conference. Patricia is a Past Regent and honored chapter Daughter with her duties as State DAR Magazine Chairman. Our Constitution Week in September was highly advertized with promotions on radio and in our local newspaper, and area schools. Oletha Woods always has the Constitution Week Tea at her lovely home and it was well attended and enjoyed by all. In May, we were so pleased to have our State Regent, Mrs. Billy Compton, speak to us on her visit to the Continental Congress. She also installed our new officers for the coming year. Sarah Phillips and Chris Atherton, local college students, gave an interesting program on patriotism with their puppets. In June, our bi-city Flag Day Luncheon in conjunction with the Peleg Gorton Chapter in Winfield, was held at the Elks Club in Winfield. We were well represented by members of the Betty Bonney Chapter. The Deputy County Attorney, and a new member of Peleg Gorton, Claudia Ramsey, gave an interesting dissertation on the duties of the county attorney. Mrs. Carl Hamlin gave an essay entitled, "Our Flag." As our year came to a close, we were pleased with our year and our leader, and look forward to the coming year with pride and pleasure. Mary Quinn Maxwell. COOCH'S BRIDGE (Newark, Delaware) celebrated the 82nd birthday of its founding in 1902 with an official visit by State Regent, Mrs. Winfield C. Llewellyn. The meeting was preceded by a picnic luncheon complete with birthday cake and candles. Three new chapter members were greeted by 58-year DAR and Cooch's Bridge Chapter member Anna E. Frazer. Anna has attended many Continental Congresses, including one in New York City during World War II, and for ten years served on the House Committee in Tiers E-J. She has held numerous offices at state and chapter level as well as in the State Officers Club. Her enthusiasm for DAR is contagious. She is our authority for "what happened when" in DAR, and her anecdotes of DAR events are fascinating. Each of our three new members joined DAR in a different way. Bonnie Bannowsky entered on a line established for her by her daughter-in-law, a DAR member. Stephenie Skinner joined through her father's line, which her non-dar mother researched. Marilyn Balmer entered on her mother's DAR membership. Cooch's Bridge Chapter is off to a great start on her next 82 years! MARYLAND LINE (Monkton, MD) chose the site of one of America's most outstanding eighteenth century houses to honor its builder, Captain Charles Ridgely, for his service to the American Revolution. The building of Hampton was begun in 1783 and completed in 1790 and stands just north of Towson, Maryland in beautiful Dulaney Valley. The centerpiece of the extensive Ridgely family land holdings, it remained in their possession until 1948 when it was presented to the United States Government to be administered by the National Park Service. Captain Charles Ridgely, a fourth generation Marylander was honored for his efforts in the cause of Freedom. A member of the Sons of Liberty, a delegate to the Maryland Legislature from Baltimore County, Captain Ridgely's Northampton Furnace supplied the American cause with "kettles and cannonshot." The dedication of the marker was held at the site with the Maryland State Regent, Mrs. Charles A. Bloedorn, in attendance and Mrs. Roger W. Carroll, Maryland Line Chapter Regent, presiding. The history of Captain Ridgely was given by Margaret Smith Keigler, Dedication Committee Chairman. Immediately following the dedication a tour of the historic mansion was conducted by the curator, Lynne Dakin Hastings, and a reception was held in the restored Orangerie with Mrs. M. Gillian Fenwick as hostess. Pictured left to right are: Mrs. Charles A. Bloedorn, Maryland State Regent, Juin A. Crosse-Barnes, Superintendant of Hampton National Historic Site and Mrs. Roger W. Carroll, Regent, Maryland Line Chapter. Emma Carroll. JOHN WITHERSPOON (Robbinsdale, MN) has had a very special and proud year. It has been a year of remembering the past and planning for the future. It has been a year in which we have celebrated our 50th Anniversary by honoring our Charter Member, Mrs. Gladys Burgess, at an Anniversary Tea, at which our guest speaker was Mrs. Lola Schenk, Honorary State Regent and Vice President General. It has been a year in which we contributed 100% to our President General's Project, were members of the studio audience during a taping of "Good Company," a local afternoon television program, and visitors to Murphy's Landing a Minnesota village of It has also been a year in which we have remembered our veterans at the Minnesota Veterans Home through the making of 600 Shamrock tray favors, by donating a subscription to our DAR Magazine, and our Chapter/Veteran Pen Pal program. We have also recognized the veterans of the 96th Infantry Division who during World War H made the initial landings on Leyte in the Philippines and on Okinawa by donating a lawn swing to the Veterans Home in their memory and honor. Not only are we proud of our chapter accomplishments but also of our chapter members who are currently serving at the State level: Debra Zellner, State Junior Membership Chairman, and Nancy Moses, State Recording Secretary. Our members working with the Sibley House Association, our Minnesota DAR Museum, are Judy Moynihan, Treasurer; Nancy Moses, Recording and Financial Secretary; Carol Snell, Sales Chairman; and Barbara Sexton, Faribault House Chairman. As we fondly bid farewell to our first 50 years we look to our future confidently knowing we will continue to find the same pride and gratification in being members of the NSDAR. Judy Moynihan. NEW LONDON (Missouri). The beautiful Victorian Mansion "Roslyn Heights" of Boonville built in 1897 is the new State Headquarters. It was the scene of a delightful tea in honor of Mrs. Joseph W. Towle, Honorary State Regent, whose initiative and generosity made the purchase of the headquarters possible. Upon seeing the need of a central location, a place to house records, and provide attractive facilities for entertaining, it became her project and is now a dream fulfilled. Other honor guests were the Charter Benefactors from the state's 112 Chapters. Mrs. Joe H. Capps, State Regent, had charge of a delightful and appropriate (Continued on page 692) DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

86 Chapter Reports (Continued from page 690) musical program, introductions, and dedication of a Charter Benefactors Plaque. Mrs. Herbert H. White and Mrs. Clyde P Janes were gracious Hostesses from the Building and Grounds Committee. The beautifully furnished home is constantly being scheduled for chapter and official meetings. Attending from New London were State Chaplain, Mrs. A. L. Detweiler, Miss Edith Brooks and Mrs. Millard Johnson. Mr. Detweiler and Mr. Johnson with other husbands enjoyed the comfort of the "HODAR Lounge" on the lower level. ANDREW BOGLE and LYDIA RUS- SELL BEAN (Knoxville, Tennessee) joined together at Highland Memorial Cemetery for a dedication Ceremony to mark Mrs. Annabel King Agee's grave with a DAR marker. The ceremony was conducted by the two Chapter Regents, Mrs. Richard L. Kyle and Mrs. Alfred Cooper, who read from the "DAR Ritual." The two 1st Vice Regents read from "The Tennessee Society's Book of Prayers and Poems." Mrs. Gladys Miller, daughter of Mrs. Agee, invited the 25 members present to join her for tea at Deane Hill Country Club following the dedication ceremony. LAWRENCE KEARNY (Cape Coral, Florida) started its new year working with the youth in the local schools. The chapter added a new committee, Junior American Citizens, with Mrs. Archie Hopkins as Chairman. Through her expertise we had four FSSDAR essay winners and one NSDAR winner. Our American History Chairman, Mrs. Frank Bailey, collected many excellent essays. Shannon Skinner, an eighth grader from Caloosa Middle School received first place. She appeared on WINK-TV telling why she was interested in American History. She was given the American History Medal and a Certificate of Award. Thomas Drumm Jr. an eighth grader from Gulf Middle School won second honors in the essay contest and he also was chosen by his school as the "Good Citizen" of the year. He was presented the DAR Good Citizen medal by Mrs. Thomas O'Neill, Defense Chairman. She also had the honor of presenting our Junior ROTC Medal to Andra Schmitz, a Cape Coral High School graduate who plans to enter the Marine Corps. Our past Regent, Mrs. Donald Metz, Senior State C.A.R. President and FSSDAR Chairman of C.A.R., with our Public Relations Chairman, Mrs. Raymond Haas, assisted in getting radio, television and newspaper publicity. Another member volunteered to teach Art in several classrooms and, in her quiet way, gave these children a good insight in what it means to be an American. Mayor Joe Mazurkiewicz signed a proclamation declaring February as 'American History Month." Mrs. Willis A. Young, Regent, climaxed the month with a Washington Tea in Shell Point Village. She presented a flag, that had flown over the Capitol, to Dr. Bernard King, Director of the Village. This retirement community is the home of several of the chapter's 111 members. Without the close cooperation of many members, these activities could not be as successful. In planning for the coming year Lawrence Kearny Chapter will continue its work with the youth and hopefully many more qualified students will take part. MYAKKA (Venice, Florida) Flag Day, June fourteenth, presented the chapter with the opportunity to begin a United States of America Flag education program in the local public and private buildings. The wonderful Florida sun we all love so well has a devastating effect on the out-of-door flags. Florida loves to fly its flags but has been a bit slow in replacing faded or worn flags. This Flag Day we began our efforts by presenting a new flag to the North Port Library. It was a proud time for the local DAR, library staff and citizens of the community, as we saluted our beloved Flag as it was run up the staff for the first time. Local newspaper coverage was most welcome, inspiring our members to even greater efforts in the coming year. Each member will be asked to observe the many flags we past as we go about our daily routines. Flag Code pamphlets will be handed out, especially where members may tactfully suggest needs in the areas suggested by the pamphlets. Newpaper coverage of our efforts will be sought. At our regular meeting we will highlight this project by holding a reverent Flag Of The United States flag burning ceremony for the flags that we have replaced or received from community efforts during the year. We feel many companies and private citizens do not know what to do with "Old Glory" once its proud days are over. This will offer a solution and at the same time increase our DAR commitment to patriotic endeavors and proper flag respects. Shirley S. Becker. FORT ASSUMPTION (Memphis, TN). Mrs. Thomas E. (Ruth Earle Nelms) Hooker organized Fort Assumption Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution on May 3, 1942 with twelve charter members two members, Mrs. Noland Fontaine Meacham and Mrs. Charles Emett Humphreys are still active.

FORT HAND (Vandergrift, PA) dedicated a marker for Michael Truby, drummer boy of the Revolutionary War in Kittanning, PA cemetery. The bronze marker was chosen and supplied by Mona Worley (Mrs. Donald), a descendent of Michael Truby and a member of Belleville, IL Chapter. Michael Truby was born in 1762 the son of Col. Christopher Truby who was active in the Patriot's Cause during the Revolutionary War. On his property, now Greensburg, PA he built a fort, a place of refuge for women and children from Indian attack. On every mission, as captain of the Westmoreland Militia, he was accompanied by his son Michael as drummer boy. Michael later was drummer boy for the troops of Hannastown. Hannastown was the first seat of justice west of the Alleghenies and later was destroyed by fire by the Indians and a few British Soldiers. It was Michael Truby who found a lost child following the horrible destruction of Hannastown. Present at the dedication were three descendents of Michael: Mrs. Edward Bush, Miss Peggy Gallagher, Mrs. John Maddox members of Fort Hand Chapter and Mrs. Myrna Hileman, a great great great granddaughter. Five newspapers carried a picture and account of the dedication. Fort Hand Chapter has accepted eight new members this year with six papers pending approval.

Mrs. Moore had her grandmother's spoon at the party. Special guests at the reception were Mr. & Mrs. W. K. Eades, nephew and niece of Mrs. Moore; the Chapter Regents of Davidson County; the state chairmen and national appointees in the area. Also present were Mrs. Dan C. Gary, State Regent, who presented Mrs. Moore with a lovely orchid corsage; and Mrs. Walter Hughey King, President General, presented Mrs. Moore with a NSDAR Seventy-five year membership certificate. JOHN KENDRICK (Wenatchee, Washington). To commemorate its 70th birthday, John Kendrick Chapter designed, made and installed two permanent display cases in the Chelan County Courthouse in Wenatchee. The idea was suggested by Commissioner Tom Green. The cases are located one on either side of the main stairway in the Courthouse. One case contains the American flag, a Braille flag, the Washington State flag and small replicas of all the flags that have officially flown over our country. The Braille flag is an American flag made with variations in fabric, seams, and stitching that make its pattern distinguishable by touch. The other case contains framed replica copies of the Declaration of Independence, Monroe Doctrine, Bill of Rights, Gettysburg Address, pictures of our 40 presidents, and a brass American Eagle. In each case is a hand embroidered DAR emblem made by member Dian Thompson. All documents and pictures are framed. These were also designed and made by our Chapter. Several husbands of members volunteered their help with construction, framing and lighting. The dedication ceremony was held on June 26, with representatives of the City, County, State and Congressional bodies in attendance. THOMAS LEIFER (Germantown, PA) observed Pennsylvania Arbor Week by planting a 10-foot Callary flowering pear tree in Philadelphia's famous Fairmount Park (the largest city park in America).

By 1982 twenty-five Kwanzan trees had been planted there in memory of deceased chapter members. The Grove was appropriately located adjacent to Memorial Hall, a Centennial Fair building. The twenty-five cherry trees filled that particular area, so in 1982 a new Memorial Grove was started nearby with the Callary flowering pear trees. The Chapter intends to continue its custom of planting one or more trees in the new Grove each Arbor Week to memorialize deceased members and to contribute to the "Greening of America" through conservation.

The only way to change this is by modifying the terms of the debate. Unless some version of the "family wage" concept be it a generous and truly supportive children's allowance program, a "cultural" family wage, or tax benefits or payments for maternal care of pre-school children is intellectually reconstructed and vigorously defended, Comparable Worth will triumph in one form or another as a necessary and eminently logical part of the "working family" social order; as in Sweden, family life and children will be its principal victims. In the contemporary ideological struggle, the raw truth is that there are simply no other options. Allan C.

When Greene tried to capture the Star Fort at Ninety-Six, South Carolina in May-June, 1871, it was Kosciuszko's talent that dug the trenches (parallels) to get closer, and also a tunnel (mine) that was to enter the fort. The visitor to Ninety-Six National Military Park can see the remnants of the trenches as well as part of the mine. This Polish engineer also aided Greene in devising methods of transportation for the troops and was conspicuous as a cavalry in the last days of the fighting. in the South. Before Kosciuszko returned to Europe, Congress commissioned him a brigadier general. He returned to Poland and lived quietly in retirement. But in the Spring of 1792 he was commissioned a major general in the Polish army and led his small force against the Russians. Close to capture, he escaped to France. In 1794 he was back in Poland and again part of the small Polish army against the Russians as they began the Third and last Partition of that country. Despite winning many brilliant victories, Kosciuszko was captured by the Russians and imprisoned for two years. In 1797 Tsar Paul I released him and he went back to the United States. Congress appropriated $15,000 which was due him for his services in the Revolution. He also received a land grant in Ohio. But he was not happy, and returning to Europe, spent the rest of his life living mostly in Switzerland, vainly pursuing efforts for Polish freedom. He died in Switzerland in Serving the early United States was not a remunerative endeavor. The foreign volunteers did it for the military glory or for professional advancement. Some returned to Europe carrying with them the ardor of freedom, while others left their bones in the new world. For whatever the reason, America needed and benefitted from their services.

The Honor Roll minimum has increased from $20 to $30. Please remember that for Honor Roll is $30. The next note concerns where to send your advertising. Do not send your advertising material directly to me. Send all your advertising and advertising correspondence to the Magazine Advertising Office, 1776 D Street N.W., Washington, D. C If you send them to me, I have to repackage them and send them to D. C. anyway. So avoid this delay and just send them directly to D. C. You must send a LETTER OF EXPLANATION with all of your advertising material. When you send us material without telling us what it is for, we have to write you for a letter of explanation anyway. So help us and help yourselves by eliminating this unnecessary step and send complete instructions with every advertising package. TYPE all correspondence and ads. Mistakes are often caused because handwriting is misread. Avoid this problem by TYPING all correspondence and ads. If you want your photos returned, you have to send us a self addressed stamped envelope. We will not return photos if you don't send in a S.A.S.E. Just writing the name and address of the person you want the photo returned to on the back of the photo will not get that photo returned to that person. Thank you for taking the time in reading these notes. This information is very important and it is provided for your convenience. Please keep it and pass it along to others.
